Abstract

The digital transformation has caused changes in the organization, structure, functioning and culture of organizations and in their internal relationships and with users of their products and services. With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, this phenomenon accelerated as a result of the use of digital technologies to facilitate the interventions necessary for its prevention, treatment and control on a global scale. However, although there are several studies that address the digital transformation, its understanding and application is seen differently by different actors. Based on a brief literature review and with the aim of promoting research and contributing to accelerate the digital transformation in Angola, the conceptual bases for its implementation in higher education are discussed. Taking into account the data obtained that report differences between countries, contexts and institutions, some challenges and priorities are suggested as a starting point for a discussion and elaboration of a strategy for digital transformation in higher education in Angola. It is concluded that higher education institutions must have a fundamental role in the preservation and accumulation of existing knowledge on digital transformation, in its application in all its substantive processes and in the training of new professionals adapted to the digital age in all areas of the knowledge and not limited to the use of technology applied to learning methods.
