Digital transformation has become a defining feature of higher education systems worldwide, reshaping teaching practices, student engagement, and institutional governance. This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes in higher education institutions. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from faculty members and students across multiple universities. Quantitative survey data were complemented by qualitative insights to assess perceived benefits, challenges, and institutional readiness. The findings indicate that digital tools significantly enhance instructional flexibility and student engagement when supported by adequate infrastructure and faculty training. However, disparities in digital access and institutional preparedness remain key challenges. The study contributes to interdisciplinary scholarship by integrating perspectives from education, information technology, and management sciences.
