Sustainability of Digital Transformation (DX), Institutional Research (IR), and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Higher Education Based on Eduinformatics

We proposed a novel concept for the sustainability of digital transformation (DX), institutional research (IR), and information and communication technology (ICT) in university reform based on Eduinformatics in this paper. DX was proposed in 2004 by Prof. E. Stolterman and Prof. AC Fors. The concept behind DX is to digitize human behavior and create new value. Eduinformatics is a new interdisciplinary field that includes informatics and education. Eduinformatics analyze data of students and develop novel analytical methods. In this paper, we assess the method of obtaining sustainability in DX, IR, and ICT to perform university reform. To obtain the answer of this research question, we show some practical examples. From these examples, we proposed a new matrix of feasibility and sustainability and concluded that Eduinformatics and Significant Other Groups (SOGs) are the keys to obtain sustainability in DX, IR, and ICT to improve the quality in higher education.
