RIEDNER, Daiani Damm Tonetto  e  PISCHETOLA, Magda. Digital Technologies in Higher Education: a possibility of innovation of the practices?. Educ. Form. Tecnol. [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.2, pp.37-55. ISSN 1646-933X.  https://doi.org/10.1549/1646933Xv9n22016010600037.

This paper presents a literature review that is result of a research in progress, about the use of digital technologies in teaching training courses of higher education. The aim of this work is to present and discuss the main studies produced about this theme, in order to identify the gaps that still need to be filed in educational research, in the Brazilian context. Based on the survey carried out in the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, we listed eight dissertations and four theses, in addition, four articles obtained in the Digital Library databases of Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, which includes international journals. The study demonstrated that, although the technology seems to be related to the concept of changing and innovation, as far as it appears in the works as something essential to enable changing practices, the use of technology in higher education may not be synonymous with the innovation of practices if it is not linked to a process of substantial teacher training and ensuring favorable pedagogical conditions.
