The world is witnessing tremendous and rapid technological development, making modern technology indispensable in life. The infusion of technologies into the educational practice has significantly improved and modernised established educational systems. The quest to ascertain whether the infusion is a necessity is considered. This paper, therefore, sought to review whether developing HEI needs to infuse technology in learning and teaching. Thus, the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework will be adopted to support and strengthen this review paper. TPACK was adopted for this article because of the need to enhance content knowledge. The framework is a recommendation for 21st-century learning to develop technological and digital literacy. Learning is directed at technology utilisation to increase the effectiveness and quality of education. This contributed to the successful infusion of technology with content. The theoretical framework for this study and materials were sourced from journals, websites, and other academic materials. The present study also explores the policy, benefits, and barriers involved in the infusion of technologies in developing HEIs. A systematic approach was applied in the methodology for this study through sources such as e-journals, peer-reviewed books, google scholar, and other resource articles. The gap this study sought to fill centred on the influence, effectiveness, and barriers associated with the infusion of technology to developing HEIs in learning and teaching for positive educational outcomes. Hence, this paper recommends resolving the obstacles encountered in the infusion of technology in learning and teaching. Suggestions for future research will be centred on the infusion and implementation of information technology in the curriculum of the HEIs.
