Abstract

This study investigates the potential of agile architectures, mainly inspired by Scrum, along with microlearning, as resources to foster ubiquitous learning and digital inclusion in higher education. This is a qualitative, bibliographic research, based on authors who discuss the integration between technology, education, and innovative methodologies. The results indicate that the intersection between ubiquitous learning, microlearning, and methodologies favors more flexible, accessible, and student-centered pedagogical practices. It was observed that microlearning, due to its modular and tiered structure, facilitates access to knowledge in contexts with technological inequality, and agile methodologies support organization, collaboration, and continuous adaptation in the teaching-learning context. It is concluded that this intersection is a promising approach to increase digital inclusion and strengthen student retention in higher education.
