The many changes the world suffered due to the Covid-19 pandemic pushed the long-established boundaries of Higher Education. The rate of change is increasing and, not seldom, the extraordinary became the everyday. The fast pace of technological evolution has had a significant impact in educational practices as a reaction to the many limitations SARS-CoV-2 imposed. Many international organizations have, over the last year, recognized the need for a stronger technological integration so as to promote a more flexible, comprehensive and efficient education, capable of meeting the current and unforeseen societal demands. The fast-paced and widespread offer of new learning, teaching and communication environments required the traditional concepts of learning to be reshaped so as to answer singular needs. At the same time, knowledge management and dissemination both inside organizations and the research community also suffered changes, as a result of the virtualization of many previously face-to-face moments. As the turmoil gradually gave way to the needed changes, many new and creative ideas and proposals have sprung, although some questions remain unanswered. This number of RTIC is dedicated to these changes and their result. In the first article, the authors describe a study aimed at analyzing and understanding whether language teachers of the 3rd cycle and secondary school use mobile technologies as teaching-learning tools. A quantitative analysis was carried out through the application of a questionnaire. It concluded that teachers, in general, recognize that mobile applications should be used as teaching-learning tools. However, they also found that only 7.3% of the respondents use mobile applications as tools to support the teaching-learning process.In the second article, the author presents a reflection on the work developed at a distance, and online, in 2020, with the Mozart Choir. It presents methodological, technical, practical and technological reflections that, according to the author, should be present to support a choral group.This is followed by an article that presents a study of three of the main free online platforms and depicts the comparative result of the analysis through a matrix based on several criteria such as usability, accessibility and functionality. The results seem to point to greater robustness of the EasyChair system, except when used in small local conference with less than 30 submissions.The last paper describes an empirical work aimed at verifying whether knowledge management practices exist in organizations. According to the authors, the results of the empirical study, obtained via a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach, allowed the conclusion that the investigated department carries out some simple knowledge management practices, but they are random, alternate and unintentional practices.
