Abstract
This paper presents the results of qualitative research conducted on two post-graduate courses Museum Education and Advanced Studies in Museum Education (jointly University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and University of RomaTre) in the academic year 2021/2022. Students were involved in focus groups in order to enquire how digital transformation in education brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic can foster distance learning for better futures and help shape digital education environments that are accessible and equitable. Results show that the combination of technologies for distance learning and online peer tutoring can play a pivotal role in helping students develop their potential and build a sense of belonging, thus promoting their well-being.
