Digital transformation, an inmediate challenge caused by the Covid-19 pandemic for entities in the higher education sector

Abstract

The digital transformation in higher education, although it is considered a process that should have been carried out a long time ago in adapting to the trends of the modern world and the needs of information systematization, has shown to have an important lag in Colombia, demonstrated by consistently in the impossibility of maintaining the levels of research and knowledge production that are achieved from traditional face-to-face training. From the documentary review that this article occupies, it has been possible to show that the concept of digital transformation for higher education appears substantially related to other concepts of necessary knowledge for the complete modification of the educational system, such as social innovation, educational innovation, and even economic and financial sustainability. The route carried out allows us to establish that joint work and knowledge of new trends are recognized as fundamental factors in the promotion of higher education supported by digital transformation processes and that it is built with the support of all actors immersed in the process.
