“…En la era Internet diferentes medios como son los blogs, foros en webs, redes sociales y similares se han convertido en el espacio de una nueva forma de capital social: el capital social virtual (Nguyen et al, 2013), o capital social online. Así, el uso de las redes sociales virtuales ha contribuido al desarrollo del capital social (Abbas & Mesch, 2018), jugando un papel clave en el desarrollo de la identidad de los jóvenes (Stokes & Price, 2017;Heidari et al, 2020), siendo en la actualidad un importante tópico de investigación (Grottke et al, 2018). A nivel de redes, Putnam (2000) establece dos dimensiones de capital social: bonding (vínculo) y bridging (puente).…”

The exceptionality derived from the situation of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all areas of our functioning as a society: relational, health, economic, etc. and of course, education. This study focuses on the impact on these areas and the role played by aspects such as resilience, online social capital and life satisfaction. To this end, an exploratory quantitative study was carried out on 343 university students. The most important conclusion is to note the strong impact that confinement has had on the life situation of students, mainly in the psychological and academic fields, and the important role of the relationship with life satisfaction and resilience. We conclude with the need to work on the issue of resilience from the university and we offer a series of keys to that end.

“…The rapid development of digital technologies has spurred strong interest among scholars to employ these technologies for educational purposes, not only to facilitate learning in formal settings (Farrokhnia et al, 2019;Hassanzadeh et al, 2016;Heidari et al, 2020;Noroozi et al, 2016Noroozi et al, , 2018Seo et al, 2021;Winkler et al, 2021) but also in informal, out of the class, settings (Chan et al, 2015;Coll & Treagust, 2015;Hubbard, 2019;Song & Lee, 2014). With the recent advent and affordance of new technologies, increasing attention has been paid to digital informal learning (DIL) and the way students learn in such settings (Reinders & Benson, 2017).…”

“…Today, digital technologies have become more prominent in higher education than in the past (Heidari et al, 2020; Murphy, 2020). Many educational and academic institutions utilize digital technologies, which have consequently presented a host of challenges to the academic community (Toquero, 2020).…”

During the COVID‐19 crisis, digital informal learning is important for students' academic engagement. Although scholars have highlighted the importance of students' digital competence in improving digital informal learning (DIL), the mediating role of DIL between digital competence and academic engagement has remained ambiguous. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between students' digital competence and their academic engagement with the mediating role of DIL in the higher education context. This study used a descriptive correlational design, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The study sample included 308 students from Shiraz University, Iran. The results showed that digital competence positively and significantly correlated with students' DIL and their academic engagement. Furthermore, DIL, as the mediator variable, was found to mediate the relationship between students' digital competence and their academic engagement. Since higher education institutions have a key role in improving students' academic engagement, particularly in the COVID‐19 pandemic, academic administrators should pay more attention to students' digital competencies and provide them with efficient and user‐friendly DIL platforms that can increase their academic engagement.
