The transformation of learning in the 21st century demands a paradigm shift in educational communication, moving from a conventional, one-way model toward an interactive model grounded in digital technology. Digital literacy has emerged as a key competency that enables educators, learners, and education stakeholders to communicate effectively, critically, and responsibly amid the rapid flow of digital information. This study aims to examine the role of digital literacy as an educational communication strategy in facing 21st-century learning transformation, to identify the challenges of its implementation, and to formulate strategies for strengthening it. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research, reviewing relevant scholarly sources including journal articles, books, and education policy reports. The findings indicate that digital literacy functions as a communication bridge connecting learning resources, educators, and learners in a more participatory, collaborative, and adaptive manner. Nevertheless, implementation still faces obstacles such as unequal access to technology, limited digital competence among some educators, and the lack of curricula that systematically integrate digital literacy. Recommended strengthening strategies include reinforcing digital-literacy-based curriculum policy, providing continuous training for educators, ensuring equitable infrastructure distribution, and cultivating an ethical and critical digital communication culture within educational environments. This study is expected to serve as a reference for the development of education communication policies and practices responsive to contemporary demands.
