Abstract

To comprehend the need for digital transformation in the field of continuing education, we must first be aware of the existence of a digitized society facilitated by technological changes and the phenomenon of globalization. These changes are reshaping our understanding of the world and how we live in it. It is in this context of digital transformation that society expects higher continuing education to respond to the demands of digitization. With the aim of defining patterns that facilitate transformation processes in our higher education institutions for the development of continuous training programs, this article analyzes, through 26 articles (between 2017 and 2022), selected using the PRISMA methodology, the main dimensions, levels, and actors involved in digital transformation processes. The results lead us to conclude that it is an emerging field of interest, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated digitization processes.
