Summary. Chinese rural university students face three distinct digital divides during pandemic online learning: unequal internet access and device quality, lower internet proficiency skills, and reduced knowledge absorption due to fewer family resources and more household responsibilities. The study proposes a new framework extending beyond traditional access and skills divides to include knowledge absorption outcomes, revealing that rural students learn less effectively despite having internet connectivity.
