Abstract

Amidst the rapid development of digital technology, higher education is experiencing significant changes in teaching and learning methodologies. This paper emphasizes the profound impact of digital technology on modern higher education. It presents commonly applied digital technologies in higher education such as Learning Management Systems, Massive Open Online Courses, online conferencing technology, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, learning analytics, and artificial intelligence. Each of these technologies contributes to enhancing the quality of teaching and learning by creating interactive, flexible, and personalized learning environments. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of online technologies has demonstrated their necessity in maintaining communication between faculty and students, while fostering remote learning and creativity. However, to fully leverage the benefits of digital transformation, universities need to invest in technology infrastructure, provide digital skills training for both faculty and students, design flexible and innovative courses, and establish appropriate support policies. The commitment and motivation of faculty and students are also crucial factors in promoting and maintaining effective interaction in digital learning environments.
