Abstract

The requirements of technological advancement, trends in the development of higher education, including the epidemic and other features of the times have prompted the digital transformation of education to become inevitable. Digital transformation can help higher education to create new types of governance capacity and provide quality higher education resources to more students and the public. This article points out that the  digital transformation of China’s higher education is characterized by multi-dimensional, multi-level, and multi-regional development, as well as  the  lack  of  top-level  design and overall planning, and a low level of digital application. Digital governance, digital information platform building and institutional research are key components of the  digital transformation. Cooperation between educational administrations, professional societies and universities can accelerate the  construction  of  digital  platforms  for  higher education and enhance the sharing of digital resources. Also, strengthening the research function of institutions to achieve digital strategic goals can help to enhance the practical value of digital transformation in the transformation of higher education.
