Abstract

In recent years, virtualization has been present in educational institutions, both in teaching-learning processes and in management and research, using the Internet to facilitate communication, document consultation and the virtual modality of courses, among others. This is why today the use of information technologies (ICT) is essential to facilitate the teaching process for teachers and the learning process for students. The objective of this study is to know about the perception of the students and the strategies implemented in the University Center of Economic-Administrative Sciences of the University of Guadalajara, to adapt the teaching and learning due to the contingency of COVID-19. The methodology is empirical and the data were obtained through interviews and the application of a questionnaire whose results were analyzed with statistical tools. The results show that students improved their autonomous learning, that the use of digital tools allows teachers to better explain the concepts, and that it is difficult to do teamwork and personal interaction but it is necessary.
