Abstract: The digitisation is prompting education, particularly higher education at a very fast pace. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are in imperative need to implement modern technologies to stay digitally relevant and differentiate them as a digital leader. Though many universities have specific digital plans and strategies, yet implementation of these up to the highest standards is something many institutions lacking. The present study emphasised that HEIs are in need to grapple with the impacts of a progressively digital world. The emerging technologies and their effects on establishment of a digital campus have been investigated and enlightened. Furthermore, the possible barriers and the ways to harness digitalisation successfully have also been discussed. The study, finally, proposed a digital model for HEIs to implement a digital strategy for the entire institution to reap the benefits attached to the technological progression. The present study will guide HEIs to understand the imperative need of digital strategic plans and assist in the adaption of the digital change.
