Higher education institutions in Jiangxi, China, are the focus of this study, which seeks to understand how digital literacy affects LMS adoption. The study used a quantitative research strategy to gather information from 300 people, distributed evenly between students and teachers, who filled out a structured survey. The results show that there are strong positive relationships between digital literacy and LMS use, with more literate users rating LMSs as easy to use and beneficial. A strong correlation between digital literacy and efficient LMS use was shown using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses. Students with higher levels of digital literacy are better able to interact with the features of learning management systems (LMS), which in turn leads to improved learning experiences, while teachers with higher levels of digital literacy are more competent at incorporating LMS into their teaching techniques. These results highlight the importance of providing targeted digital literacy training and assistance in order to close the skill gap and guarantee that all students have equal access to digital learning resources. Improving the quality of higher education in Jiangxi, China, can be achieved through measures that promote digital literacy, according to the study, which offers important insights for educational administrators and policymakers.
