Abstract

Nell’era digitale, l’istruzione superiore si sta evolvendo per preparare gli studenti con competenze a forma di T, che combinano una conoscenza approfondita e una vasta gamma di conoscenze. Questo articolo esplora come le innovazioni digitali svolgano un ruolo centrale nella coltivazione delle competenze a forma di T nell’istruzione superiore, tenendo conto del dinamico mercato del lavoro. La ricerca coinvolge un’ampia revisione della letteratura, un’analisi delle migliori pratiche e studi tematici, offrendo una comprensione completa. Le conclusioni sottolineano il ruolo essenziale delle innovazioni digitali nell’istruzione superiore, promuovendo specialisti a forma di T. I punti chiave evidenziano l’impatto dell’apprendimento digitale, della valutazione continua e delle tecnologie emergenti come il Metaverso. L’articolo mette in luce il potenziale trasformativo delle innovazioni digitali nell’istruzione superiore, con un focus sulla pianificazione strategica, l’allocazione delle risorse e misure proattive, fornendo, infine approfondimenti utili a comprendere il ruolo dell’innovazione digitale nella formazione delle competenze a forma di T, invitando altresì a futuri studi longitudinali e contestuali
