In this article, we will examine how these digital technologies can be used to enhance teaching and learning in higher education.

This is how an important topic of using digital technologies in education can be shortly outlined. Now, what if we would tell you that this first paragraph is not a ”genuine content”, but (mostly) built by a machine (using artificial intelligence)? Would you re-assess the way you perceived it and would you change something regarding your intentions or the way you would make use of this information?

Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in education and specifically the use of AI to synthetise, amalgamate, re-arrange, incorporate, blend, harmonise and (re)integrate scientific knowledge, is rewarding in many ways, firstly addressing the epistemological dimension – a professional is always looking for new content and new perspectives. It also provides food for thought regarding the evolution of education and educators – the past, the present and the future gain new  meanings, (re)shaping the authentic role of improving the human being as a whole. Or at least this is the hope.

As it follows, we are presenting the ”AI perspective” – more accurately described as ”how AI is depicting a scientific area”, in 2022 (and we promise to repeat the experiment at the end of 2023, on the same topic). It is content generated by artificial intelligence, in different instances, using different models and sometimes different parameters, with just a few minor changes to improve readability – on an important topic in the area of digital technologies in education:

The use of digital technologies in higher education has grown exponentially over the past decade. As technology advances, so does its potential for improving learning outcomes and enhancing the student experience. This article will explore the various ways that digital technologies are being used in higher education, as well as discuss their advantages and drawbacks.

Digital technologies have revolutionized the way students learn by providing access to a wide range of materials from all around the world. Through online resources such as video lectures, interactive simulations, and virtual classrooms, professors can provide students with engaging content and opportunities to apply knowledge beyond textbooks or a lecture hall setting. Furthermore, these same tools can be used to create assessments that test understanding of course material without relying solely on traditional exams or quizzes.

In addition to providing educational content directly to students digitally, educators are also using technology-based solutions to facilitate communication between instructors and learners outside of class time. For example, many universities now offer online discussion forums where students can ask questions about course material or chat with peers about topics discussed during lectures. Similarly, web conferencing software allows faculty members to hold virtual office hours where they can respond more quickly than through email alone — something that is especially valuable when considering international collaborations among faculty members who may not be able to meet in person due an extended travel distance or other restrictions due to pandemic conditions.

Although digital technologies have enabled many positive changes within higher education settings there are still some drawbacks associated with increased reliance on them for teaching purposes. One concern is related to data security; if sensitive information is stored electronically it must be properly secured against unauthorized access which could lead privacy violations for both individual users and entire institutions alike (Garcia-Lorenzo et al., 2017). Additionally issues such as technological literacy gaps among educators/learners may arise if certain platforms require skill sets that not everyone possesses (Koutsogiannis et al., 2018). Lastly while digital resources enable greater flexibility regarding how courses are designed this could potentially lead towards “teaching” becoming less personalised which would reduce motivation amongst learners (Tse & Yuen 2019).

Despite these challenges however it cannot be denied that digital technology has changed the face of higher education forever — enabling new pathways for collaboration; communication; assessment; research etcetera – leading ultimately towards improved learning experiences at every level across all disciplines involved within today’s modern university system.
