The Influence of Education 4.0 Technologies on Digital Transformation of Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Higher education institutions are facing the influence of an ongoing digital transformation, which influences all aspects of a modern study process. This paper aims to address this gap by examining how specific Education 4.0 technologies contribute to different levels of digital transformation in higher education institutions through the lens of the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model. Based on the results of analysis, we summarize a list of observations followed by the main transformational processes associated with the introduction of these technologies in higher educational context. The study focuses on a broader landscape, assessing the main categories discussed in academic literature. DOI: https://doi.org/10.53486/dri2024.14; UDC: 378:004.89; JEL: I23, O33, O32
