The implementation of seamless learning remains a relatively novel concept within the context of higher education. Due to its close relationship with technology usage, digital literacy is no longer an unfamiliar pedagogy in the era of technological advancements. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between digital literacy and engagement in the achievement of seamless learning. This is qualitative research that derives its conclusions through the use of average calculations. One hundred undergraduates enrolled at Yogyakarta State University served as research participants. Documentation and surveys are utilized to collect data, which is subsequently calculated and analyzed by the standard scale for the indicators employed. The results indicate that a correlation exists between digital literacy and student engagement in seamless learning, proved by the AVE within the range of 2.01 to 4.00. This indicates that the correlation is both adequate and significant. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed that digital literacy and student involvement did not always diminish the visibility of knowledge mastery. In group B, for instance, the mean scores for both initial variables exceeded 3.00 (2.93 for digital literacy and 2.68 for student involvement), whereas the average score for knowledge mastery was also above 3.00 (3.11).
