The implementation of the course was evaluated using the intrinsic case study methodology by including several instruments.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The pedagogical strategy proposed proved to be sound, as the evaluation showed that students were able to describe, use and propose innovative uses of a wide range of cutting-edge technologies in their both everyday lives and professional settings; they also had the skills to analyse the opportunities and challenges that these presented. Moreover, students liked this innovative way of learning and ended with a positive attitude towards ICT.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although several courses prepare students to be digital citizens or use ICT to enhance the teaching-learning process, millennials are ill prepared to use cutting-edge technologies in an innovative, responsible and critical way in their future professions. The course that was designed is original in that it goes beyond preparing digital citizens to prepare professionals in any domain to use ICT in an informed and responsible way. Moreover, it is a documented, successful example of an undergraduate universal course in a highly important current society dimension. The authors believe that its pedagogical proposal could be transferred to courses dealing with other global issues such as the environment, economy and peace.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-07-2018-0390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,25]],"date-time":"2019-04-25T05:21:55Z","timestamp":1556169715000},"page":"1463-1477","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["From digital citizen to digital professional"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Olga","family":"Marino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaime Andres","family":"Gutierrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Aguirre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2019091913154446400_ref001","first-page":"3","article-title":"Trends in student use of ICTs in higher education in South Africa","volume-title":"10th Annual Conference of WWW Applications Proceedings, Cape Town, 2008","year":"2008"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.3102\/0013189X018001032","article-title":"Situated cognition and the culture of learning","volume":"18","year":"1989","journal-title":"Educational Researcher"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1177\/001041407500800204","article-title":"Degrees of freedom and the case study","volume":"8","year":"1975","journal-title":"Comparative Political Studies"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1080\/03043790110100173","article-title":"Evaluating the use of ICT in engineering education","volume":"27","year":"2002","journal-title":"European Journal of Engineering Education"},{"volume-title":"Experiencia y Educaci\u00f3n","year":"2004","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref005"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref006","first-page":"1","article-title":"Cognici\u00f3n situada y estrategias para el aprendizaje significativo","volume":"5","year":"2003","journal-title":"Revista Electr\u00f3nica de Investigaci\u00f3n Educativa"},{"key":"key2019091913154446400_ref007","first-page":"668","article-title":"Metacognition in interactive learning environments: the reflection assistant model","volume-title":"The International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Brazil, 2004","year":"2004"},{"edition":"4th ed.","volume-title":"Educational Psychology: A Realistic Approach","year":"1990","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref008"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1086\/444230","article-title":"Appropriating tools for teaching English: a theoretical framework for research on learning to teach","volume":"108","year":"1999","journal-title":"American Journal of Education"},{"volume-title":"Digital Technologies in Higher Education: Sweeping Expectations and Actual Effects","year":"2009","key":"key2019091913154446400_ref010"},{"key":"key2019091913154446400_ref011","unstructured":"Hogarth, S., Bennett, J., Lubben, F., Campbell, B. and Robinson, A.
