Abstract

Innovative technology is a dire need of contemporary education

society in bringing paradigm changes in higher education by

ameliorating learning experiences, improving accessibility, and

reinforcing sustainability. In Afghanistan, a country confronting

different educational challenges, the application of technologies such

as Adaptive Learning Technologies, Cloud Computing, Artificial

Intelligence, Mobile Learning the Internet of Things, and Gamification

can address such issues and contribute to the sustainable

development of higher education. Hence, this paper aims to

investigate the role of these technologies in the higher educational

sector of Afghanistan, particularly exploring their utility, potential

advantages, challenges, and implications to further support

educational sustainability. To support this research, the investigators

collected keywords related to the innovative and digital technologies

in higher education and their effects on sustainability form different

international reliable databases such as Scopus, Web of Science,

Science Direct, Taylor and Francis. After critically synthesizing

various research papers, it is concluded that ALT, CC, ML, IoT, AI,

Blockchain, and Gamification offer promising solutions to many

concurrent challenges toward higher education of Afghanistan.

Finally, this provides suitable recommendations for policy makers,

teachers, and higher educational institutions on the integration of

these technologies to achieve sustainable education improvement in

Afghanistan.
