The impacts of digitalization on the management of academic pathways
Digitalization is disrupting the higher education and research (ESR) sector. With the rise of information and communication technologies for education (ICTE), schools are adopting digital tools to transform their teaching practices. ICTE, defined as any training device using a network to disseminate, interact, or communicate, is at the heart of this revolution.
The Covid-19 health crisis accelerated this digitalization, making online learning platforms indispensable. Solutions like Edu Service My Campus now enable more effective and personalized tracking of student pathways. Institutions can thus better adapt to the specific needs of each student.

The challenges and opportunities of digitalization for academic institutions
Academic institutions find themselves at a critical crossroads in the age of digitalization. The Covid-19 pandemic has not only accelerated digital transformation but has also highlighted the multiple challenges to be addressed. Franck Bournois, director of ESCP, emphasized that this crisis period has had major impacts on the long-term strategies of many business schools. According to a study by AMBA, 83% of leaders from these schools report that the pandemic has profoundly changed their strategic priorities.
Investments in digital technologies are now essential. 82% of business school leaders plan to continue investing heavily in technologies related to digitalization. This includes online learning platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and educational tracking tools like those offered by PIX.
The expectations of students and businesses
Today’s students demand flexible and personalized educational pathways. Business schools like EMLV, which welcome students from around the world, must adapt to these expectations. The European Commission is also urging higher education institutions to integrate more digital skills into their curricula.
- Flexibility of pathways
- Personalization of teaching
- Integration of digital skills
Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation, recently stated that digitalization represents a unique opportunity to rethink education. Collaboration between academic institutions and technology companies, such as that between EPFL and Logitech Europe SA, is becoming essential to meet the new demands of the job market.
