TITLE: DIGITAL LITERACY SKILLS AMONG POST GRADUATE DISTANCE LEARNERS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A STUDY OF PUNJABI UNIVERSITY, PATIALA (INDIA)
ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to assess Digital Literacy Skills (DLS) among post graduate distance learners in public administration at Punjabi University, Patiala (India) during the session 2013-14. DLS were assessed with a short instrument, Scale of Digital Literacy Skills for Public Administration Postgraduates in India, prepared by the author for public administration students at the post graduate level in the country. Hypotheses were tested with parametric tests with respect to class, gender and area of living (rural, semi-urban, and urban) for both scoring and non-scoring parts. Results indicated that nearly half of the students on the overall had un-satisfactory DLS.
