Abstract

Since its origins in 1969, curiously, from a connection between computers in California universities, the use of the Internet has grown exponentially and today it reaches a penetration of 93.1% worldwide. The new generations of students entering universities are looking for memorable academic experiences and teachers capable of going beyond the content; That they are aware of the current situation, empathic, allies and, above all, humans. While being tech savvy is a bit of a must for these times, that’s not what makes a teacher shine. Emergencies have always united us more as people and as human beings, and it is the same in education. All together, as a team, we will be able to overcome the challenges that this pandemic has brought us. Research was promoted and the creation of resources on issues of instructional design, e-learning strategies for the classroom, the use of videoconferencing tools such as Zoom and Google Meet, the definition of good distance teaching practices, as well as evaluation strategies online to promote academic integrity. “New and more efficient solutions for existing problems.” Innovation is also used as an educational purpose, thus achieving one more channel for the educational purpose and not as an end in itself.
