This paper discusses the process of technological innovation and expansion of higher education. Summarizes some issues involving learning and interdisciplinary approaches that are related to the processes of knowledge acquisition. Presents some of the data from the expansion of higher education and the creation of the Open University of Brazil showing its links with the process of technological convergence. Through the current data on the Brazilian high education, tries to understand how education mediated by digital technologies (e-learning) restructures forms of access for young adults and adults to the selective world of university culture.
