This research aims to explore competencies in the digital global context through an international experiment conducted at the Veracruzana University in Mexico and the Public University of Navarre in Spain. In this paper, we report test scores of a course from both universities (N = 85). The course was grounded on Industry 4.0 and digital transformation. Students were required to work in international teams through virtual communication and coworking tools. The main findings show that digital competencies though necessary, do not seem sufficient. Additionally, the research identifies the most developed competencies (decision-making and cognitive development competencies) and the competencies that need to be strengthened (digital competencies). From a practical perspective, the international experiment facilitates a collaborative learning scenario.
La interacción entre áreas de conocimiento de distintas disciplinas y contextos culturales facilita el desarrollo de nuevas ideas y proyectos. Por ello, la Universidad Veracruzana inició un curso de formación en el que pone en contacto a profesores universitarios de disciplinas diferentes que desarrollan conjuntamente una propuesta formativa. Este Capítulo describe la experiencia de dos profesoras, una de México y una de España que, a partir del mencionado curso, desarrollaron una iniciativa docente conjunta, válida para estudiantes de diferentes áreas. La tecnología, el conocimiento de idiomas y la superación de barreras culturales fueron factores relevantes en el éxito de esta iniciativa.
