Digitalization is gaining importance in this era of technology. Thus, it’s time for the teachers at the higher education levels to inculcate the habit of using technology whilst teaching to enhance learning as well as mold the students such that they are able to make place for themselves in this competitive world. India is just catching up with this new trend. The current study gives an overview of different aspects of digitalization in higher education and analyzes the impact of digitalization on the teachers in higher education sector. For the purpose, both primary and secondary sources of data have been used. The primary data was collected using questionnaire from 30 teachers from Damodar College, Margao Goa. The study found that though use of digital tools required a lot of initial preparation, yet it improved the class environment with students’ involvement. However, they have experienced distraction when the infrastructure would not support the technology.
