In the present landscape of technological change there is increasing awareness of the need to support the acquisition of digital competences. In this paper, the authors address how digital competences can be developed through formal learning. The authors examine and demonstrate the design of a web 2.0 learning experience implemented at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, which developed both digital competences and management knowledge. The authors argue that higher education academics should continue to expand their awareness of web 2.0 applications and the role they can play in optimizing learning and knowledge creation among students, the digital workers of the future.

El aprendizaje emprendedor es un tema de gran interés en los últimos tiempos, incluso en el mundo universitario. La mentalidad emprendedora, el conocimiento, las habilidades y las actitudes están estrechamente relacionadoscon la innovación y la creatividad como facilitadores de acciones emprendedoras; estos factores son esenciales para preparar a los estudiantes universitarios para su futura vida profesional. Este estudio trata de analizar los factores que afectan al control conductual percibido como elemento determinante de la intención emprendedora. Para dar respuesta al objetivo propuesto, se pasó un cuestionario en línea a estudiantes universitarios (n = 549) yse realizó un análisis de regresión por pasos al objeto  de contrastar las hipótesis y la relación entre las variables. Los resultados del análisis realizado muestran que factores psicológicos relacionados con la inteligencia emocional, como de la autoeficacia emprendedora, así como la experiencia laboral, el ámbito de estudios y el entorno universitario, tienen impacto sobre el comportamiento conductual percibido. A partir de esto concluimos que las instituciones educativas deberían tener en cuenta los factores que influyen sobre el comportamiento conductualpercibido con la finalidad de rediseñar sus planes de estudios y ofrecer una formación más efectiva.

In this paper we evaluate and confirm the effectiveness of including curriculum training on career management as a component of university studies. The behaviour of the students in this study was modified by the uncertainty created by the crisis in the labour market due to the pandemic.Our results confirm that universities need to develop the generic and academic skills demanded by the labour market in order to provide their students with comprehensive training while also taking joint responsibility for developing their students’ career management skills.

The European Credit Transfer System establishes a calculation based on the work students do, rather than direct teaching hours as is the case with the current credit system. These are known as ECTS credits and they represent the amount of work the student needs to do to pass a subject. In short, ECTS credits are the quantity of work needed to learn a subject, including theory, practical classes, seminars, exams as well as anything the student has done individually which can be evaluated. This is where a Wiki would provide a new space for students, where they could and should introduce information on matters related to the subject, as well as edit, correct, expand and improve etc. the already existing information. This information, which would be a collection of web pages in hypertext, would make it possible to create a computer application based on the collaborative work of the students which can be accessed by any student from any Internet connection. At the same time, it can be assessed and therefore form part of the student’s final grade for the subject. The aim of this chapter is to show the methodology which will enable a Wiki to be used for professional learning. Therefore, first the authors define what a Wiki is; second they discuss the Wiki as a collaborative teaching instrument; and third they deal with Wikis as a tool for educational assessment.
