Abstract. The topis of education is often superseded by business, mainly because business is associated with rapid technological advancement and often brings lucrative profits.

The main goal of the article is to present a general overview of the process of digitalization in the higher education field. The introduction part highlights the importance of today's education. The second part of the article describes the characteristic of digitalization in the context of education. The third section indicates the potential and risks of digitalization. The next part of the article points out the use of digitalization in the didactic process.
