Abstract

Digital transformation enables higher education to change the traditional ways of running their activities including teaching, learning, researching, and operating with novel, creative and saved manners. Over the world, higher education institutions are struggling to build up and develop their digital transformation strategy and activities to find for themselves the most suitable models. This study aims to comprehensively review the pertinent literature to provide an integrative approach about digital transformation in higher education. We used Web of Science (WoS), Google Scholar, Research Gate, ScienceDirect as databases to access the papers about digital transformation in higher education. The selected papers must be about digital transformation in higher education, in English and with full-text accessibility. Totally, 24 papers were included in the review. Based on the information provided by our review, future research can used empirical design to identify and examine the factors impacting on the execution of digital transformation in higher education.
