Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution has precipitated substantial societal changes, which have permeated into the sphere of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This article aims to scrutinize the multifaceted challenges and metamorphoses confronted by HEIs in the digital age, as a response to technological progress. Through an extensive literature review, this paper delves into various facets of digital transformation within HEIs, encompassing shifts in pedagogical paradigms, alterations in educational administration, and the underpinning technological advancements. The findings underscore the imperative nature of administrative support, proficiency in digital skills, and synchronization with the academic milieu in the context of HEIs’ digital transformation. It is inferred that digital transformation in higher education transcends the mere assimilation of novel technologies; it necessitates a continual evolution and the provision of knowledge and competencies to human resources that align with the exigencies of contemporary society.
