This means a change in the way professors used to teach, since they use virtual resources that foster interactive learning in their teaching practice. It´s necessary the acquisition of digital competences since they involve various abilities. This article was made from the analysis of various updated sources. In this respect, the objective of this article is to analyze the importance of developing professors´ digital competences, as well as other aspects that should be considered for their proper implementation. This investigation is based on a documentary research and the method used is the analysis-synthesis. An overall review of educational work in the current context was made. It considered COVID-19 context and how it brought to light some weaknesses in the handling of technology by some professors. At the same time, a synthesis of the use of some technologies in university education was elaborated; it was observed that it cannot be denied the enormous relevance of them through platforms, that allow for the storage of materials, forums, recorded classes, and online tests. It was also analyzed the necessity of acquisition and later mastering of digital competences by professors. It was concluded that the development of digital competences will be attained through a process of knowledge of technological tools until their proper implementation. It´s important to note that not only the technical aspects, but also a group of pedagogical abilities contribute to the emotional, ethical, and cultural formation in a technological society.
