Digital transformation (DT) in higher education institutions (HEIs) is an emerging field driven by Industry 4.0. Current DT approaches in HEIs lack a holistic dimension, necessitating further research for effective implementation.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Information Systems
- Higher Education Management
Background:
- Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly influenced by Industry 4.0 technologies, necessitating digital transformation.
- Digital transformation (DT) in education is an emerging field for understanding technologically supported learning environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the distinctive characteristics of digital transformation (DT) implementation processes in HEIs.
- To analyze the current state of DT within the higher education sector.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature review was conducted using the Kitchenham protocol.
- Nineteen relevant papers published between 1980 and 2019 were identified and analyzed.
Main Results:
- The study confirms that digital transformation in HEIs is an emerging research area.
- No existing DT proposals in HEIs have adopted a holistic approach.
- Current DT implementations in higher education are fragmented.
Conclusions:
- Further research is required to understand how HEIs can effectively implement digital transformation.
- HEIs need strategies to address the demands of Industry 4.0 through comprehensive DT.
