The sample was selected using the convenience sampling and the sample consist of three pioneering universities of Sri Lanka, namely, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, University of Colombo, and NSBM Green University. 120 undergraduate students responded to the questionnaire and data was analyzed by using the SPSS software. Based on the findings, the experience of using information and finding information has a significant impact on the students’ digital literacy. Also, the experience of understanding digital practices and creating information does not have a significant impact on the students’ digital literacy. These findings highlight the need for educational institutions to prioritize specific digital practices, particularly the skills of using and finding information, within their curriculum to enhance digital literacy. By focusing on these areas, universities can better equip students with the critical abilities needed to navigate and assess digital information effectively in both academic and professional contexts.
