ABSTRACT
This systematic literature review investigates the digital transformation landscape in higher education across African nations, focusing on current trends and prospects. As digital technologies continue to reshape educational practices globally, the study employs diffusion of innovation as a theoretical framework to understand the impact of digital transformation on the development of higher education in African contexts. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research, this study synthesises critical findings regarding the adoption, implementation, and outcomes of digital transformation initiatives in African higher education institutions. The review explores various dimensions, including technological infrastructure, pedagogical approaches, student engagement, faculty development, and institutional strategies. Additionally, it identifies challenges and opportunities associated with digital transformation efforts and highlights implications for policy, practice, and research in the African higher education sector. By synthesising insights from diverse scholarly works, this review offers valuable perspectives for stakeholders aiming to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in higher education within African contexts.
