<p><em>The Covid-19 pandemic that has occurred in Indonesia since March 2020 indirectly forced educators to switch from face-to-face teaching activities to online activities. Seeing the unrest experienced by educators, especially teachers and lecturers, who are not familiar with online teaching activities, the Online Learning Communication Science study program from Universitas Pelita Harapan held community service activities with the theme of digital literacy that can be followed by educators throughout Indonesia. Google Classroom is a medium that is raised in this activity because of the ease provided through its features even though Google Classroom cannot yet be categorized as a Learning Management System. Moreover, Google Classroom can be obtained for free and can be used through smart devices or computers that have an internet connection. With large-scale social restrictions (PSBB), this activity was held online using the digital platform Zoom Meeting. The result of this activity is that educators experience improved ability and understanding to carry out online teaching activities using Google Classroom such as creating classes, assignments, and quizzes, sharing teaching materials to conduct evaluations in the hope that educators are ready to do #ngajardarirumah.</em></p><p><strong>ABSTRACT (INDONESIAN): </strong>Pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi di Indonesia sejak Maret 2020 secara tidak langsung memaksa para tenaga pendidik untuk beralih dari kegiatan belajar mengajar secara tatap muka menjadi kegiatan secara dalam jaringan (daring).

This research aims to describe the development process of a problem-based learning management system-supported smartphone (PBLMS3) application using the ADDIE Model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) and to determine its effectiveness in improving digital literacy. Data were collected from 40 physics education students in Tasikmalaya, consisting of 13 males and 27 females with an average age of 20 years. Data collection techniques included a literature study, expert validation, digital literacy test, and a questionnaire on student perceptions. Expert validation was obtained from three experts using a Likert scale and processed by the validation value equation developed by Aiken. The expert validation resulted in a value of 0.92, which met the minimum validation requirements. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the PBLMS3 application in improving digital literacy in online physics learning was determined by a statistical process using the Wilcoxon test. Based on its results, the t-value was 0.4752, with a p-value of 0.00 < 0.05. This means that the PBLMS3 application is effective for and capable of improving students’ digital literacy. Further research is recommended to determine other factors capable of improving digital literacy.
