Abstract

In the knowledge society, the goal of providing education for all as a universal right is a priority with digital technology integration. Therefore, it is relevant to establish learning trends in higher education institutions and the possible strategic actions to be implemented in them for their digital transformation. This paper aims to systematize various debates, approaches, arguments, priorities, and conclusions for the digital transformation of higher education institutions in the fourth industrial revolution scenario from a teaching point of view. The results highlight teacher as the main protagonist of digital transformation by integrating emerging technologies of the fourth industrial revolution into teaching through educational innovation processes despite the obstacles of infrastructure and technological inequalities typical of the academic context. The study’s novelty focuses on using prospective planning tools with SmartDraw software help, to promote digital transformation from the teaching role to make lifelong learning more flexible, encourage greater student mobility, and relocate educational spaces. Educational environments displace physical barriers with interconnection so that the classroom is multimodal, thus accounting for the new scope and purposes of higher education in the knowledge society.
