TECHNOLOGIES AND EMERGING MODELS OF LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION. PROPOSALS AND DIFFUSION OF INNOVATIONS

The fast and growth development of technology, the existence of new types of collaborative networks and the global connectivity allow and require, urgently, that Higher Education institutions develop new, innovative and creative ways and models of teaching and learning. According to these new possibilities the article is presented in two parts. A first one wich aims to present some of the currents emerging learning models, for Higher Education, through the use of technology, defined by several international reports. And a second part, with the results of a systematic review in an international data base, which allows us to understand the degree of educational innovation that underlies the different learning models explored (flipped learning, personal learning environments, mobile learning, massive open online courses). The results indicate that the mobile learning model is the most productive with a growing tendency. Finally we conclude with the relevance of the innovation dissemination and the obstacles in transferring these emerging models to the classroom contexts.
