“…Some of researchers explore the specific digital services provided by universities. For instance, Litoussi et al (2022) consider the practice of universities for providing digital certifications (such as official academic transcript, registration certificate, diploma) and propose a model for decentralization of digital certification using blockchain technology. Ahmad and Rafiq (2022) assess the level of digitalization readiness of the university libraries and secure the digital preservation of the available literature.…”

With the rapid advent of the new information and communication technologies, including fast development of the Artificial Intelligence, the digitalization process could be considered as a basic key element of the transition process, securing the sustainability of an organization. This is also relevant for the Higher Education Institutions that have very significant and at the same time responsible role to prepare well the next generation for the challenges of the labor market. Therefore, the effectiveness of the digitalization at the universities is critical for two major aspects: to secure proper education based on the cutting-edge technologies and to provide good quality of all accompanying administrative services. This article presents the potential indicators determining the effective level of digitalization in higher education institutions. These indicators are developed based on the empirical study among 360 universities students in Master and Bachelor degrees in leading Bulgarian universities. Our findings indicate that students generally positively evaluate the efforts of universities to digitize the educational process. At the same time, some aspects of the educational process -such as the assessment in a digital environment, or the provision of administrative services -such as the application for dorm accommodation, which should be improved, are outlined. However, the need to make constant efforts to protect personal data and provide quality educational digital content is considered. We propose 9 complex indicators for assessment the effectiveness of digitalization in university.

Blockchain technology has been gaining popularity in recent years, with many industries exploring its potential applications. This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we do business and interact with each other. It has emerged as a revolutionary innovation that promises to transform various industries by enabling secure, transparent, and decentralized transactions. The blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that uses cryptography to ensure the integrity and immutability of data. In this article, we will provide an overview of blockchain, including definitions, architecture, security, applications, and future directions

“…university business incubators (Chan, Krishnamurthy, & Sadreddin, 2022), digitization in libraries and secure digital resources (Islam et al, 2022), connection and different intermediates between universities and industries (Albats et al, 2022;Roig-Marín & Prieto, 2021), possibilities for digital certification (Litoussi et al, 2022), the role of Massive Online Open Courses in the university activities (Guerrero, Heaton & Urbano, 2021;Krasnov et al, 2018), simulation models in the e-learning environment (Boumiza et al, 2018). Researchers also consider already working models for improving university digitalization-such as the Agile model (Kerroum et al, 2020).…”

Digitization in education is a process formed because of the general digitization of society and all its sectors. Digitization improves the education quality and methods. Digital technologies are an integral part of any field of education. The following criteria defining the level of digitization of the learning process in the universities are essential. The first criterion, we think, is expanding learning opportunities by providing electronic materials (slides from lectures, videos, exercises, projects, etc.); acceptance and evaluation of materials related to the learning process in digital form based on already existing and popular technologies allow training from any location, regardless of the physical location of the university. The second criterion is the education interactivity; the increasing and massive entry of audio and visual devices helps for this. The third criterion is the demand for new digital skills from businesses -creating websites, mobile applications, cyber security and more. Another criterion could be the digital expansion of the competence of the university -the increase in the number and attractiveness of the offered digital services (enrollment, education, exam process, practices, etc.), which are tailored to the interests and preferences of students based on their digital experience and digital expectations. All these questions will be the subject of research in this article.
