Abstract
The article explores the perception of undergraduate students at a public state university in Mexico, regarding their experience after completing the Multimodal Transversal Learning Unit Information and Digital Literacy. The research explores two aspects: self-perception of students regarding their level of achievement in specific digital competencies and main learning outcomes after completing the course. It also reports their assessment in five aspects: syllabus, educational resources, learning activities, coverage of the cross-cutting themes throughout the course, as well as operation of the Learning Management System and technical support. The research was quantitative, through a survey applied to 16 students in the first group that completed the curricular unit. Among the results, the following are reported: perceived levels of achievement in different competency indicators, best valued competencies, and overall assessment of the course by the students. The highest levels of achievement reported are in indicators associated with the students' daily practices interests. The lowest levels of achievement are in the areas of algorithmic understanding and the generation of original contributions and digital content.
