Against the backdrop of a global digital transformation and national strategies for educational digitalization, the digital transformation of postgraduate course teaching has become a pressing imperative. Grounded in the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study thoroughly analyzes the practical challenges impeding this transformation, including the inherent limitations of traditional pedagogical models, misalignments in technology application, and the absence of a comprehensive digital ecosystem. Accordingly, this study proposes a model for the digital transformation of postgraduate course teaching. The model encompasses three core dimensions: (1) a system for pedagogical innovation driven by digital and intelligent technologies; (2) the synergistic reform of teaching structures and stakeholder relationships; and (3) the development of smart learning environments that merge virtual and physical realities. This model is intended to offer valuable insights for the digital transformation of postgraduate education, contributing to the enhancement of course quality and effectiveness.
