Abstract
Assessing the impact of digital transformation in the fundamental areas of higher education at a specific university, i.e., Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) will show us the readiness for the digital university. Therefore, in this paper, we deeply analyze the characteristics of the typical model of the digital university (University 4.0) to identify the criteria to be surveyed for the assessment of the availability of HUST in digital transformation process. The analysis of survey results, thereby, discloses the effects achieved by practical implementation of digital transformation solutions at HUST. The results of this study allow us to introduce a readiness framework for digital transformation as a reference for the other higher education institutions. In addition, we can partly confirm that the trend of digital transformation is indispensable for universities in Vietnam, contributing to the improvement of higher education quality and international integration in the context of industrial revolution 4.0.
Highlights
Under the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), digital transformation takes place in all areas including higher education, bringing new challenges, and opportunities for the development of higher education
We studied a typical digital transformation model implemented at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) to assess its readiness for extracting a readiness framework as a reference for other higher education institutions
For certain context in Vietnam, we choose the model of university 4.0 and the smart education framework to set up the conditions for surveying HUST
Summary
Under the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), digital transformation takes place in all areas including higher education, bringing new challenges, and opportunities for the development of higher education. Following this new trend, the wave of digitalization is happening strongly in Vietnamese education, especially in higher education institutions. The assessment of readiness for the necessary changes to adopt digital transformation in higher education institutions is a demanding goal To this end, we studied a typical digital transformation model implemented at Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) to assess its readiness for extracting a readiness framework as a reference for other higher education institutions
