With the use of technology, students can store, share, and record what they learned in a given session or day of remote learning. This study aimed to assess distance learners' abilities in digital literacy by examining their attitudes, concepts, and methods. The quantitative descriptive survey research method was used. For this purpose, 95 distance learners were selected from the different private colleges in district Swabi that were affiliated with Higher Education Regulatory Authority Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and were offering distance-learning programs (i.e., B.Ed. 1.5 and 2.5 programs). Likert scale was used through online Google survey forms. The study found that some of the digital competencies of distance learners were below average, as they had no awareness regarding the effect of extensive technology use. They did not know multimedia product designing as well as could not upload self-created content to any website for sharing. While some aspects of digital competencies showed better results as majority of the distance learners had an awareness of social networking and online collaboration tools. As a prerequisite for any distance course, an ICT-based course may be made available to all distance learners as well as tutorials may be made available for fresh distance learners.
