Cover Story: This research presents a comparative study of three countries’ higher education institutions (Spain, Italy, and Ecuador), analyzing how they have faced the global lockdown, focusing on the development of digital literacy. Results point out the necessity of enhancing aspects such as teachers’ digital skills, sources for learning that may be adapted, communication between universities and students, and teaching methodologies that should be appropriate to the current context. Conclusions suggest rethinking higher education learning and reinforcing main issues for this transformation, mainly: communication, teaching, and digital competences. View this paper
