Digital Transformation in the Education Sector: Benefits and Challenges

Abstract

Students, staff members, and other stakeholders’ demands are all shifting rapidly due to advances in electronic technology as well as information analytics. Many of the executives of today are neither tech-savvy nor digital natives, yet they nonetheless recognize the importance of technology in maintaining a competitive edge and fuelling expansion. The study identified many benefits, including facilitating learning and boosting classroom efficiency, facilitating the monitoring of student achievement and growth in the classroom, helping students and teachers work together better, providing unique educational opportunities, increasing efficiency in the classroom and monitoring academic progress. The chapter also identified the following challenges of using DT in the education sector: ineffective digital fixes, uneven availability, developing bad study routines, possible inaccuracies and inability to express oneself. The DT revolution may present some difficulties for institutions, but it is ultimately beneficial to the industry as a whole. It can play a huge role in inspiring both students and educators to adopt cutting-edge methods and outlooks.
