Emergency Remote Education and its Contribution to the Formation of Digital Humanities in Pandemic Times

ABSTRACT

The existence of a worldwide pandemic due to Covid-19 and, consequently, as changes determined by global and local protocols has changed the way that many higher education institutions are reflecting on the symbiotic relationship between education and digital technologies. The quarantine imposed in some countries has revealed the need for actions to continue academic activities in the world. Many Brazilian universities have debated and promulgated resolutions that do not allow to understand how these institutions have reacted to the eminence of emergency remote education and their actions in face of the impossibility of face-to-face classes. In this sense, this paper is a qualitative, documentary, bibliographic research and case study in which we seek to analyse from the reading of the resolution of the State University of Maringa, a way in which this institution deliberated the adoption of digital educational practices. We conclude that the denial of different forms for the educational process can impede the progress of higher education committed to the development of digital humanities.
