The study focused on assessing the effect of utilization of Digital teaching materials on the Performance of Literature learners at Public Universities in Western Kenya. The study specific objective was to: Examine the effect of utilization of Digital teaching materials on Performance of learners in Literature in public universities in western Kenya,. The study was guided by Connectivism theory. It adopted a descriptive survey design, targeting 899 learners and 32 lecturers. A sample of 277 learners and 32 lecturers was selected using proportionate sampling techniques and census technique respectively. Data was collected using interviews and structured questionnaires. The researcher ensured validity by testing construct, criterion and content validity and reliability through expert input and statistical analysis. This paper examined the relationship between digital learning factors\u2014Digital Teaching Materials, and performance in literature among learners in public universities in Western Kenya. For learners, the study revealed a strong positive correlations, highlighting significant impact on educational outcomes.. These findings emphasize the importance of Digital materials in enhancing student learning outcomes in literature studies, though further research is needed to fully understand this dynamic. For lecturers, the study found a statistically significant relationship between digital learning platforms and performance, explaining approximately 80.3% of the variance in performance. Digital Teaching Materials and positively influenced performance, The study highlights a consensus among learners and lecturers on the positive impact of digital teaching materials on performance in literature courses in Western Kenyan universities. Both groups recognize the significance of digital resources in enhancing comprehension, engagement, research ability, and overall learner success. However, challenges such as technological infrastructure and quality control need to be addressed to optimize integration and effectiveness. To enhance performance in literature education through digital learning: Policymakers should prioritize integrating Digital Teaching Materials Educational institutions need to address challenges related to technological infrastructure and quality control. Investing in robust technological infrastructure and implementing quality control measures will enhance the accessibility, usability, and reliability of digital resources. This includes providing access to digital resources, ensuring technological infrastructure and support, and offering professional development opportunities for educators<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
