In this context, it is crucial to examine the different effects that this method can generate in order to identify both the opportunities and challenges that teachers face when adopting this modality. The aim of this research is to analyse the perspectives of online learning, focusing on the advantages and challenges it presents in higher education. The information was collected through semistructured interviews with 47 teachers from the University of Cadiz and the University of Seville. The analysis of the data obtained highlights the benefits that online learning offers, such as flexibility and accessibility, as well as the difficulties related to technical problems and access to technology. The results underline the significant opportunities that online learning offers to improve the educational process, provided that the necessary teacher support and training is available. This study also provides valuable recommendations to guide future teachers and researchers in the effective integration of this method in higher education.\u003Cbr>Keywords: online learning, higher education, digital learning, impact, educational innovation |\n| --- | --- |\n| INTRODUCTION |  |\n\nCurrently, the educational field is immersed in an era of constant transformation, driven by the need to incorporate innovative digital tools that enrich the learning experience of students. Previous studies show that the influence of the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in educational practices is manifested through small educational innovations adapted to the individual methodology of teachers, which are intrinsically linked to their training and attitudes towards teaching and learning (Macas Granda et al., 2021) . On the other hand, in the last decade, the expansion of online learning has reached the educational field, which has led research to focus on exploring the potential of emerging technologies in virtual environments (Isela Aguilar Vargas & Otuyemi Rondero, 2020) .  \nThe advancement of digital technologies has allowed online learning to become an increasingly accessible and efficient educational modality. This technological transformation has facilitated the creation of flexible and personalised learning environments, improving accessibility and educational inclusion (Cedeño, 2019) . In  \nthis context, online learning has positioned itself as a key strategy for higher education, offering new perspectives and educational opportunities. As technology has developed and been more widely adopted, its impact on higher education has intensified, promoting a continuous evolution of teaching and learning methodologies (Drysdale et al., 2013). This perspective plunges us into an exciting technological evolution that promises not only to enrich but also to revolutionise the educational experience in higher education institutions.
