Abstract
Universities worldwide recognise the need to adapt to changes in society, the economy and the way young people prefer to learn. Additionally, the impetus to improve the digital approach in higher education intensifies as educational institutions have to remain competitive with commercial providers of education. Following the latest technological trends and implementing strategies to develop new digital solutions helps to improve the teaching process and the quality of academic teaching. The purpose of this article is to identify, analyse and discuss digital education trends and development directions targeted at the higher education sector. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation and illustrate practical implementations through examples from Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech), Poland. These include e-learning, micro-credentials, extended reality (XR) technologies, gamification, digital textbooks and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Possible new directions of on-line digital education in the higher education sector development, as well as the benefits and associated risks, are also identified and discussed.
