Abstract

The crisis generated by the Covid-19 health emergency has had the obvious impact of rethinking the way education is delivered and enjoyed at various levels and in different learning contexts. Accompanied by a clear confidence and hope in the resilience and recovery capacity of education systems, the pandemic has brought with it many positive innovations on the acceleration and digital transformation front. In many countries, including Italy, the academic community's first reaction to the tragic global picture of the pandemic was a broad openness towards the use of new digitally-related teaching methodologies and tools, counting on the fact that teachers had always been committed to educational innovation through the use of new technologies. In a short time, in fact, digitised learning has truly become the new paradigm of a university world in which something, in short, has changed and continues to change.
