Digital transformation, student engagement, higher education, e-learning, Kenya.Abstract
Digital transformation in higher education has reshaped teaching, learning, and student engagement. This multidisciplinary study examines the impact of digital learning tools, online platforms, and virtual collaboration on student engagement in Kenyan universities. Using a mixed-method approach with surveys of 150 students and analysis of learning management system (LMS) usage data, the study investigates how technology adoption influences participation, academic performance, and satisfaction. Results indicate that digital transformation enhances engagement, supports collaborative learning, and improves academic outcomes, while challenges such as digital literacy gaps and infrastructure limitations remain. The study provides recommendations for universities to optimize digital strategies for effective student engagement.
