Current trend and future research agenda for technological innovation in higher education institutions

Abstract

Technological innovation is significantly impacting Higher Education Institutions (HEI). In the Google Scholar database, over 3 million literature are available, but only a few articles discuss the review of technological innovation, especially in the HEI context. Therefore, this research aims to determine current trends and future opportunities using a planning-search-data organisation and analysis procedure. Descriptive and bibliometric analyses are conducted with a scoping review of 662 documents from the Scopus electronic database. The result shows that the research trend in this area is uptrend. Most of the literature discusses engineering education, e-learning, and educational innovation. Future research should be conducted in the areas of learning, technology development, intellectual capital, and technological innovation impact.
