Chair: 
TBD
The name of this conference -European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning- refers to the fact that technology impacts on learning by enhancing it. However, the impact of technology on Higher Education is much broader than on “just” learning.
In the talk, I will refer to three aspects that students get after attending a university and analyze how these are affected by technology
- Community (C): the personal and social experience students get
- Diplomas (D): the official recognition that opens the door to jobs and further studies
- Knowledge (K): the content and skills of a discipline that is taught to students
We are at a turning point in Higher Education driven by digital technology. We must rethink the fundamentals upon which universities were created to continue being drivers of the society of the future.
