As office software becomes increasingly integral to academic and professional success in a globalised world. This study investigates the mediating effect of technology readiness between Community of Inquiry (CoI) and student digital competence among students at UiTMCT and seeks the most influential CoI factors towards student digital competence through data collection using questionnaires. Seven hypotheses were developed, and two hypotheses were supported. The mediating variable did not influence the relationship. Researchers suggested using the same variable with different items adapted from other authors for future research. Thus, improving global office software learning experiences would boost students' digital abilities.
