Abstract: College students' network literacy is an important factor in the construction of cyberspace ethics in the Internet era. According to the connotation of network literacy from the perspective of moral education, N index observation points were established, and 3844 students from 61 universities in Shanghai were investigated. It was found that the network literacy of college students in Shanghai was generally good, among which, the score of network moral cognition was low, which still needed to be further strengthened. There is a strong correlation among various indicators of network literacy, and the knowledge of network security laws is the basis of each indicator. There are obvious individual differences in network literacy. The research results provide an empirical reference for college students' network literacy education in the new era.
