In a few weeks, the first university academic year taught in full during the covid-19 pandemic, which has forced educational institutions to digitize at an accelerated pace, will come to an end. In this context, the eLearning company Homuork will organize on May 26 an online panel discussion with five industry specialists to share the challenges and lessons learned from this unprecedented experience. 

On the theme "Higher education and digitalization;, challenges of the post-covid-19 era", the measures adopted by universities in terms of the pedagogical and experiential model of the digital student will be discussed.

Sònia Sánchez Canut, head of Teaching Innovation at UPF-BSM, will talk about the experience of the digital student during the first course taught entirely in pandemic. 

Sònia Sánchez Canut, Head of Teaching Innovation, will speak on behalf of the UPF Barcelona School of Management.
