The world is currently favored by technology since its implementation provides benefits and advantages, helping citizens in all areas, including the educational field. It has become a fundamental factor in achieving a nation where its people have a better quality of life; for this reason, every day an effort is made to create new knowledge. The research objective is to determine the challenges of higher education in the new technological era to facilitate learning and achieve significant knowledge. The method was bibliographic because the information was collected from the research process in academic search engines and repositories. In this regard, a documentary and experimental analysis were conducted where the survey technique is applied to find some correlation on the influence of technology in higher education, resulting in the benefits to achieve new reliable and relevant knowledge. The main results showed that higher education students are immersed in the technological era, benefiting from learning through technology, simplifying the search, and adequate access to information in a simple way through large databases. In conclusion, technology allows university students to relate easily with their environment and other social entities through the use of digital tools, thus creating autonomy so that they can be the protagonists of their knowledge, being creative and competitive, acting reflexively in the teaching-learning process, and becoming productive entities.
