This article examines the evolution of digital pedagogy as a transformative force in the landscape of 21st-century higher education. As educational systems worldwide pivot towards more flexible, inclusive, and technology-enhanced models, digital pedagogy emerges as a strategic response to modern academic demands. The paper explores theoretical foundations, pedagogical applications, and institutional readiness, with a focus on the Uzbek context. It identifies both opportunities — such as digital inclusion, personalized learning, and global access — and challenges including infrastructural gaps, faculty training, and student engagement. By integrating empirical data, analytical discussion, and visual representations, the study provides a holistic understanding of how digital pedagogy is redefining teaching and learning.
