Digital learning opened new ways for society members to start early careers on a global scale, but also to seek for the possibilities to re-enter HE at different stages of life, to seek for (re-) qualification in a variety of ways. Digital and network society is the new target group of HE, which learns in new, timeless and borderless spaces. Such society members are always connected and online, sharing and co-creating knowledge, developing and co-authoring innovations themselves, and they may serve as the biggest driving force for HE, but also quite a high challenge to deal with. Digital education, teaching, learning and assessment seems to be a good solution for the transformation of HE curriculum, and many HE institutions already found their ways. But why this is again a growing issue? Why does digitalization continue raising many challenges for HE institutions? The panel discussion will focus on the digital innovations rapidly spreading in social, economic and cultural life; integration of digitalization into HE curriculum and constantly changing needs, tools and habits of learning that HE institutions must deal with.
