ABSTRACT
The covid-19 pandemic constituted an exceptional situation for higher education, being able to compare it to an educational experiment never seen before, with decentralized teachers and students, and the urgent need to transform courses that have always been taught in classic modalities to virtuality. This article presents the first experience of a virtual course of the Universidad de la Republica Chair of Psychiatry for undergraduate students of the Doctor of Medicine career, prepared during the conjunctural framework of the pandemic, and a proposal to redesign it in a new scenario. A blended redesign is proposed that categorizes learning from cognitive processes of a lower level of complexity (in virtuality) to higher order processes (in presence). The theoretical bases rest on the ADDIE, Bloom's taxonomy, the flipped classroom model, and the SAMR model. Our goal is to improve the academic quality of the courses offered by providing valuable and lasting learning experiences.
