Reflection on the effects of the pandemic in the digital learning

In the first beginning of the third decade of 21 century, a huge change is occurring in Higher Education. The need to offer higher education to more students, and more diversified, had been a challenge to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), imposed by globalization and the knowledge economy. However, the pandemic forced HEIs to rebalance their digital offer. Although e-learning, online education, distance learning, or some other form of technological education have been used extensively in HE, it is important to reflect on the effects that such use will bring to the reconfiguration of digital learning, even in a post pandemic period. Such is the purpose that frame this text. It starts from the recent literature on digital learning and its features to reflect on the possibilities and difficulties that the pandemic has brought to the concept and its practices.
