The current higher education model is undergoing major transformations due to the constant evolution of technology. Access to knowledge and globalization — which can place pressure on the traditional model—meets the needs of the latest, increasingly interconnected generation.

Today, you can study anywhere provided you have a connected device, which allows access to a much larger volume of information (and more easily than in any library)—and enables collaboration in projects and academic work. In addition, easier access contributes to more educated citizens — and thus a stronger society. As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world."It is necessary, therefore, to find ways of teaching that make learning more inspiring, relevant and dynamic. In this way, virtual education can help institutions become major national (and even international) players, reaching new students in an easier and faster way—something that is much more difficult (or even impossible) through face-to-face education. By sharing resources and gaining scale (and thus incorporating more and more students), these institutions can continue to invest in more technology and reach a higher quality of teaching. With technology as the foundation of this revolution, various trends are disrupting education systems around the world, delivering innovative.

Here are some of these most relevant trends:

1. Digital education: We are seeing the emergence of a number of increasingly interactive and project-based mass open online courses (MOOCs). Many of these are even offered free of charge by prestigious universities.

2. Future collaborators: Industry 4.0 is already a reality for companies. Technology will automate many of the manual tasks people are paid to do today. Many of the jobs needed in the future do not even exist today. Jobs that require certain skills—such as creativity, emotional intelligence and analytical thinking—are harder to automate and more likely to exist in their current form for longer.

3. Virtual reality and artificial intelligence: Virtual and augmented reality is revolutionizing the learning experience. It allows students to be embedded in any context of teaching, whether in a museum or a scene from ancient Egypt—all without leaving the classroom. Teachers can take students on immersive and virtual field trips through these technologies, which make the learning experience faster, engaging, inspiring and transformative.

Traditional educational institutions will have to adapt and integrate with these technologies as new players offer better services. Small universities with a culture rooted in the way we taught yesterday will rarely have the financial resources and capacity to deal with all these changes—and the need to incorporate new technologies—alone.
