DOI[PLACEHOLDER: Annotation on digital literacy challenges and strategies for overcoming digital divides in higher education contexts.]
Appears in themes
Applies Weber's theory of stratification to the digital divide in Serbian higher education, finding that platform literacy, not mere access, determines who benefits from digital tools. The gap between students and instructors in digital skills creates hierarchies of competence that mirror and reinforce existing institutional power structures.
Offers a framework for understanding how digital literacy gaps between students and instructors can be addressed through institutional intervention. Translates the abstract concept of the "digital divide" into concrete pedagogical challenges and actionable strategies for higher education settings.
