Abstract

Online distance learning policies were formulated and implemented among some Malaysian universities long ago, but their value emerged since COVID-19.

The findings from the correlation analysis show a significant positive relationship between the six independent variables and the dependent variable. Meanwhile, in the regression analysis, three of the independent variables (observability, trialability, and digital skill) have a significant and positive effect on digital literacy. This study placed the diffusion of innovation in a specific context that supp.....
