Abstract

Transforming higher education through technology does not simply mean adopting new technologies; rather, it involves reimagining educational models in order to enhance learning, accessibility, and institutional efficiency. In order to integrate digital tools into their curricula and administrative functions, universities and colleges require a comprehensive framework. The author presents a structured approach to navigate this transformational process. An integrated approach to curriculum development, teaching methods, student engagement, and administrative activities is provided through this framework. With actionable insights tailored to the specific needs of educational institutions, this paper lays out principles, guidelines, and actionable recommendations along with a digital transformation framework for higher education that serves as the foundation for successful digital integration into higher education. This framework and paper will enable higher education institutions and educational administrators to respond not only to immediate technological trends, but also to shape the educational practices of the future.
