Lucía anxiously checks the time; she is late for class. She quickly messages her classmates on WhatsApp, letting them know she has the printed assignment and not to worry. While doing so, she checks her emails and sees a notification in the virtual classroom with her latest assignment grade: Passed. A sigh of relief. This allows her to register for the next exam session in the online student management system. Now she just needs to prepare for her oral defense and two upcoming exams before the holidays. She glances at her smartwatch, satisfied with the digital tools supporting her studies.
