Summary: | This article aims to describe patterns of digital literacy among Sriwijaya University (SU) lecturer and its contribution to the implementation of eLearning. We used the mixed approach. Our population is 635 subjects which have been running and organizing through e-learning plat-form of SU. We, then, selected 30 lecturers randomly as our samples. Data were collected through offline and online questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and secondary data collection. Likert Scale is used to measure digital literacy among respondent and e-learning implementation is explained using SIMPLE model. We find that digital literacy competence among SU lecturers is in a high position. This situation is the initial capital for the implementation of e-learning at SU. However, this situation has not contributed to the implementation of e-learning because of (a) lecturer is not willing to adapt to the e-learning environment system; (b) policy makers have not been intervening several factors that contributed to e-learning implementation at university level.Artikel ini bertujuan menggambarkan pola literasi digital di kalangan dosen UniversitasSriwijaya dan kontribusinya terhadap implementasi e-learning. Artikel ini berasal daripenelitian empiris yang menggunakan pendekatan campuran (kualitatif dan kuantitatif).Populasi penelitian adalah 365 mata kuliah yang telah dijalankan dan diorganisir denganplatform e-learning yang diadopsi Universitas Sriwijaya. Dari populasi ini, penelitimemilih 30 dosen secara acak sebagai sampel penelitian. Data dikumpulkan denganmenggunakan kuesioner online dan offline, wawancara mendalam, dan pengumpulandata sekunder. Skala Likert digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat literasi digital respondenpenelitian. Sedangkan implementasi e-learning dijelaskan dengan model SIMPEL. Kamimenemukan bahwa tingkat literasi digital dosen Universitas Sriwijaya berada pada posisiyang tinggi. Situasi ini merupakan modal awal untuk mengimplementasikan e-learningdi Universitas Sriwijaya. Tetapi, situasi ini belum berkontribusi terhadap implementasie-learning karena (a) para dosen belum bersedia beradaptasi dengan lingkungan sisteme-learning; dan (b) para pembuat kebijakan belum mengintervensi beberapa faktor yangberkontribusi terhadap implementasi e-learning di level universitas. |
