"The university system does not respond adequately to social demands" and starts as El Pais published an article on its website today about P2P University , mode supported by the principle of free and open exchange of Internet content and probably transformed into a first warning to those who resist changes in the current workings of the traditional universities, especially in regard to new information technologies and (ICT) as well as regards the free movement of knowledge across the network.
In Spain for example, developed the model 2010 Digital University sought by the convergence of the institutional activities of the universities through the use and implementation of educational and administrative processes that leverage information technology and communication (ICT), welcoming the proposals and recommendations emanating from the European Union for the adaptation of universities to the EHEA, and generally to better confront the role that institutions of higher education in the knowledge society.
The impact of ICTs in education, especially the Internet, has not left indifferent to university education by the many advantages and opportunities offered, reminds us Small Gutiérrez (2008:234) who notes that " web becomes the basic infrastructure to develop the processes of classroom teaching-learning, combined synchronous and asynchronous services, which has resulted in a pattern known as e-learning or e-learning. "
One of the specific benefits provided by the use of ICT in higher education occurs in the continuous training throughout the working lives of practitioners, especially in regard to the obtaining of second degree , graduate or just to improve their integration and adaptation to the labor market.
A specific area of \u200b\u200bthe positive impacts of the use of ICT and the Internet is identified by Duarte et al (2008) in regard to academic libraries as pioneers in implementing these tools to improve the service offered to the university community, a situation that is reflected for example in access to electronic journals, databases and electronic books that enable teachers and students access information in print would be very difficult due to the geographical barrier.
The effects of the digital revolution in universities also involve a change in technology and infrastructure, a major change at the policy level, processes and especially in the organizational culture of each university.
In this way, and as an important condition to achieve the benefits identified above, the universities have to make changes in their teaching work, research and extension based on the possibilities and benefits offered by ICTs, developing virtual processes through technology platforms in each of the university activities, including the processes of economic and academic management, including strengthening the processes of e - learning in college .
