Tiivistelmä
Recent technological advancements have significantly transformed the everyday digital realities of business leaders, educators, policymakers, and the general public. As a result, higher education and research institutions are striving to keep up with the ongoing digital revolution, new trends in digitalization, and their impact on our lives.
In the fourth issue of Xamk Beyond, we explore different education, research, and business cases that address the broad topic of digitalization in practice. We have had insightful contributions on a range of topics, including measuring and overcoming digital competence gaps in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to the benefit of using Open Source Software to improve the digital capacities of SMEs and the potential for digital solutions to facilitate the transition towards a circular economy.
Our authors also explore the use of simulation business games for education, the growth and regulation of micro-credentials in education, and the potential RDI-driven education has to create sustainable digitalization and innovation competences. In our conclusion, we suggest rethinking the use of Generative AI in publishing through the fundamental tenets of open science. Through these articles, we contribute to the digitalization literature and enhance our understanding of locally developed practical implementation strategies in the spirit of universities of applied sciences.
