Abstract

Universities are currently undergoing the transition from a conventional teaching model based on knowledge transfer through lecturing and printed cultural objects, towards a pedagogical model based on student active and constructive learning and their interaction with digital resources. This special issue addresses the analysis of universities´ digital transformation guided by questions such as: Where should university education evolve to? Which is the pedagogical interpretation of digitalization  in university education? How does technology transform teaching professionalism, what students should learn, or the environments and methodologies of eLearning?
