Digital technology has been a major component of various professions in today’s world.
Tremendous changes have been experienced in education, especially in countries that are
economically advanced. At the same time, the institutions of higher education learning have been
challenged to respond to the needs of globalization, as well as the knowledge economy in order
to prepare the competencies and skills of the 21st century which require changes in teaching
practices and curriculum. This has created a demand for competence and more transparent
performance and accountability in research and professional careers. Nevertheless, some
policymakers perceive digital technology as an effective tool that will help in managing most of
the changes and will act as a transformative tool in shaping careers (Keegan, 2012).
