Abstract
Digital technology has significantly impacted students and their learning environments. Jobs that do not require at least an entry-level understanding of basic computer skills are nearly impossible to find. Online platforms have become integrated into our daily lives and are now essential in the classroom. Students are expected to grasp the functions of technology and its intersection with the curriculum. Universities utilize various online learning technologies in their classrooms. While basic computer literacy and understanding are crucial components of university education, students require additional support when using these platforms in their writing. I will explore how to integrate digital literacy with college students effectively. This thesis will focus on recognizing the advancements in digital literacy that have occurred and their impact on the writing classroom at the university level. I will address the benefits of Canvas and Achieve, which can foster critical thinking among first-year writing students.
