Abstract
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has outbursts, changes in the teaching process are observable. What was a temporary countermeasure against the pandemic is now considered a didactic tool. More and more teachers and entire higher education institutions decided to permanently implement digital tools or innovative teaching methods into the didactic process. The continuous development of technology fosters innovation in the teaching process. It allows teachers to use newer and newer teaching tools, better and better adapted to the real needs of students. The main goal of this article is to point out, by a scoping review of the papers published between 2020 and 2023, the digital tools used in the teaching process at the higher education level. The review focuses only on the original articles written in English, which present studies on implementing innovative digital teaching tools. The article is a form of a preliminary catalog of didactic tools used at the higher education level in the last three years, with their quantitative presentation. The tools have been categorized according to the technologies they use and then assigned to the scientific disciplines in accordance with the OECD classification in which they were used.

Digital Tools for Innovative Higher Education Teaching - A Scoping Review of Empirical Studies
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has outbursts, changes in the teaching process are observable. What was a temporary countermeasure against the pandemic is now considered a didactic tool. More and more teachers and entire higher education institutions decided to permanently implement digital tools or innovative teaching methods into the didactic process. The continuous development of technology fosters innovation in the teaching process. It allows teachers to use newer and newer teaching tools, better and better adapted to the real needs of students. The main goal of this article is to point out, by a scoping review of the papers published between 2020 and 2023, the digital tools used in the teaching process at the higher education level. The review focuses only on the original articles written in English, which present studies on implementing innovative digital teaching tools. The article is a form of a preliminary catalog of didactic tools used at the higher education level in the last three years, with their quantitative presentation. The tools have been categorized according to the technologies they use and then assigned to the scientific disciplines in accordance with the OECD classification in which they were used.
