1. The Panorama of Digital Education in the XXI CenturyPedro Tadeu, Carlos Brigas, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: This chapter aims to analyse digital education in the twenty-first century, a complicated topic with tremendous advancements and challenges. We analyse digital education from different angles and like this we want to analyse his substantial significance in the modern education framework. This approach highlights several benefits, such as extensive educational opportunities, engaging and dynamic learning opportunities, and tailored training that meets each learner's needs. However, we also discuss the inherent challenges that the digital education brings to us nowadays, they include the availability and fairness, the technology limitations, and the absence of in-person social interaction. Another important aspect to analyse is the significant impact of the digital education on the pedagogical approaches and how the digital education could affect globalisation, specifically how it might help people engage across cultural boundaries and overcome specific constraints. To conclude, we also analyse new trends like gamification, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence to find possible future directions for digital education. The chapter ends by stating that to fully realise the potential of digital education and create an inclusive and successful learning environment for the future, these opportunities and challenges must be continuously explored.

2. Innovative teaching methods in higher education : the case of University of PrimorskaTina Štemberger, Andreja Klančar, 2025, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The paper addresses the use of innovative teaching methods in higher education, specifically at the University of Primorska (UP). In the last decades, the use of digital technologies in teaching has undoubtably changed both, teaching and learning process. However, not much research has focused on using innovative teaching methods in higher education settings, so the aims of the study were to (i) determine how frequently higher education professors use different teaching strategies and methods and tools, digital tools and generative AI tools, (ii) what kind of challenges they face in this context and (iii) which competences would they need to better implement innovative teaching methods into their teaching. Data was gathered with questionnaire which was administered in spring 2024. A total of 74 academic staff members of UP participated in the study. The results in general show that higher education professors frequently use as problem-based learning, team-based learning, and scenario-based learning, while gamification, design thinking, and cooperative learning are underutilized. They frequently use Google Drive and YouTube. The major barriers for using more innovative teaching strategies and methods are time constraints, limited access to resources and technology, and lack of pedagogical and digital skills, so they express the need for targeted training in digital tools, AI, and innovative teaching methods, as well as strategies for engaging students and managing large groups.
