Rapid technological developments cause significant changes in micro and macroeconomic levels. At present, digitalization of professions has become a necessity rather than a choice and those who do not respect technological changes will disappear from the market, becoming history. Digital competencies are one of the basic technical skills required by HEIs` graduates in any fields today.
