Abstract

The shift of higher education (HE) to a digital realm harnesses technological advancements to reshape teaching methods and institutional functions. However, this transition is met with skepticism due to commercialization, neoliberal constraints, and a shift away from human-centered values. This analysis navigates these conflicts by blending theory and empirical evidence to assess the impact of digital tools on education, instruction, and the socio-political landscape of universities. It scrutinizes the prioritization of market-driven efficiency over equitable education, emphasizing how resources like Learning Management Systems mainly cater to administrative rather than educational needs. Proposing strategies for fair, educationally effective digital approaches, it advocates for a balanced integration that upholds the communal purpose of education. By addressing commercialization and promoting inclusive technology adoption, it aims to align HE with its core ethics, ensuring digital changes enhance rather than compromise its societal mission.
