This study aims 1) to study the need for developing mobile technology to support inquiry-based collaborative learning through gamification that enhances digital information literacy and learning engagement of undergraduate students, and 2) to examine the abilities of students in using devices and mobile technology for inquiry-based collaborative learning. The sample consisted of 426 undergraduates selected using multi-stage sampling. Data were gathered using a questionnaire with a reliability of 0.98. The questionnaire comprised questions on respondents’ demographics, learning needs, and students' proficiency in using devices and mobile technology for collaborative learning. Descriptive statistics and the priority need index (PNI-modified) were employed in the analysis. The findings indicated five key needs for boosting students’ digital information literacy and learning engagement: 1) mobile technology supporting collaboration, such as brainstorming with peers (PNImodified = 0.15), 2) inquiry-based learning through problem- or assignment-based approaches (PNImodified = 0.19), 3) gamification using leaderboards to heighten challenge (PNImodified = 0.14), 4) digital information literacy, involving systematic management and storage of digital resources (PNImodified = 0.15), and 5) learning engagement through regular supplementary materials from instructors (PNImodified = 0.19). Regarding students’ abilities in using devices and mobile technologies, the findings showed that most learners used technological tools to search for information (M = 4.41, SD = 0.80) and relied on Google Chat, Line, and Facebook Messenger as primary platforms for communication and collaboration (M = 4.31, SD = 0.97). For content creation, students preferred applications such as Canva, Genially, and Powtoon (M = 4.16, SD = 0.90). At the same time, Google Slides, PowerPoint, and Prezi were the main tools used for presenting and publishing work (M = 4.11, SD = 0.88).
