Evaluating the impact of CIDOS in enhancing digital literacy and learning outcomes among community college students: a focus on accessibility and usability

The study examines the impact of the Curriculum Information Document Online System (CIDOS) on digital literacy and learning outcomes among students at Selayang Community College, Malaysia. A mixed-methods approach combined quantitative data from 200 student surveys with qualitative insights from 15 in-depth interviews. Using the Technology Acceptance Model, the research found that perceived usefulness and student engagement were significant predictors of learning outcomes. In contrast, ease of use was not a significant predictor of learning outcomes. Challenges such as inconsistent internet access and varying digital literacy levels were identified, but they did not significantly hinder academic performance. The study emphasises the importance of content relevance and engagement features over technical simplicity in driving effective digital learning. Recommendations include system stability, expanding digital literacy programs, and improving internet accessibility.
