Assessing academic staff’s ICT integration in higher education: instrument development and validation

Strategically redefining university dynamics for the digital age: A qualitative approach

“…Involved in multimodal literacy, digital and media literacy demand constant updating of concepts and skills, especially in response to the evolving information environment and the increasing diversity and prevalence of digital technologies, emphasizing the importance of primary, secondary, and higher education (Koltay, 2011). The digitalization of HEI entails significant changes and the need to integrate increasingly advanced digital technologies, giving rise to significantly different realities from those these institutions currently experience (Zhang et al, 2022).…”

“…The fourth statement leads HEI to question whether it “ actively uses open educational resources, open science, and open data practices to improve the performance of the institution and increase its impact on its ecosystem.” In this scenario, digital contexts acquire a preponderant role in current educational practices where innovation requires constant digital updating and technology exploitation, replacing more traditional teaching‐learning processes, which represents a challenge for teachers and students (Zhang et al, 2022). In this context, DTC development implies internal readjusting—within the organization—and externally—with ecosystem partners—to achieve favorable DT (Ghosh et al, 2021).…”

“…Higher education institutions (HEI) are in the eye of the digital revolution storm and facing an ongoing digital transformation (DT) where no sector or organization can remain immune to the effects (Hess et al, 2016). Therefore, the technological revolutions and transformations drive HEI's need to provide new means of value creation, delivery, and capture, particularly in the educational context of globalization and technicalization (Zhang et al, 2022). Despite the growing body of research on DT, the literature acknowledges the limitations of the academic guidance available for developing and leveraging capabilities during such transformations (Ghosh et al, 2021).…”
