Abstract


We live in a world of constant change driven by digital technologies and in the complex world in which we live, changed daily by a volatile world, due to frequent changes; Uncertain, due to the unpredictable nature of events, complex, the multiplicity of factors that can arise interconnected and ambiguous, related to complex and unclear situations to understand, education faces a paradigm shift that exposes vulnerabilities and threats of Open Education models in the face of propensity to trade, given its great advance, it would be normal to draw the attention of capital. The digital revolution presents challenges, but it also opens unprecedented opportunities for democratization and accessibility of this educational model. The transformation process of Open Universities must maintain the reference for the deep incorporation of pedagogical and technological innovation based on research and seek new organizational strategies to maintain its quality and guarantee its relevance and leadership in the search for the massification of high and high quality higher education availability.
