This research paper aims to explore the dynamics of digital learning among university
students based on their self-reported patterns and experiences. A self-constructed
survey questionnaire consisting of 13 statements was administered to a sample of 201
students, comprising 71 males and 130 females, from different departments of the
Central University of Haryana, India. The findings show a strong preference for blended
learning among students, despite challenges like stress, anxiety, mental fatigue, sleep
disturbances, and reduced social interactions. Males exhibit higher digital proficiency,
while females show better digital etiquette and focus. Rural students experience more
anxiety with digital devices, whereas urban students demonstrate higher proficiency
but greater mental fatigue. These results highlight the need for carefully planned and
customized digital learning strategies to address diverse demographic and environmental
needs.
