Abstract
Digital technologies have greatly changed how teaching and learning are practiced in tertiary education because of the sudden improvement in them. This paper will investigate the nature of digital platforms in transforming pedagogy in Indian higher learning in the name of the National Education Policy 2020. The policy insists on digital technology integration, online learning and new teaching methods in order to improve accessibility, flexibility of education and its quality. The research is qualitative research done in the form of descriptive research utilizing secondary data which are expressed in the form of the NEP-2020 policy document, government reports, scholarly articles, and educational technology publications. The study examines significant digital projects including Learning Management Systems, online course, digital repositories, online classroom and available platforms like SWAYAM and Swayamprabha which facilitate technology based learning settings using thematic and content analysis. The results suggest that the digital platforms can facilitate the student-centered learning process, enhance the effectiveness of the teaching process, and increase the level of educational opportunity offered to learners in different geographical locations. Nevertheless, a number of challenges have been noted by the study as well and they include poor digital infrastructure, digital divide, poor digital literacy among teachers and learners and data security and online assessment issues. On the whole, the study exemplifies that the digital infrastructure and the digital competency of the faculty are crucial to the successful implementation of NEP-2020 and the development of innovative and inclusive systems of higher education in India.
