Higher Education in the Context of Digitization: Challenges, Tensions and Pedagogical Possibilities

Abstract

This reflection article addresses the issue of digitization of higher education. Through a qualitative approach, a review of literature in the last decade is presented, which is analyzed around conceptual references and the teaching experience of the authors in four distance and virtual educational programs. Among the findings, the pedagogical illusions of the new digital “locus” stand out, framed in technological landscapes, as well as the interaction and the pedagogical sense in tension with the “platformization” of higher education.
