Implementation and evaluation of virtual teaching during covid-19 emergency

ABSTRACT

This article describes the emergency implementation, and evaluates migration results from in person to virtual teaching in a regional university center during Covid-19 emergency. Planned in advance online education experiences are significantly different from the courses offered online in response to a crisis, hence the relevance of assessing this emergency implementation of online education. Through a descriptive quantitative re-search, an assessment tool aimed for professors of courses taught during the first semester of 2021 was designed. The objective was to evaluate the implementation of emergency remote teaching from the perception of professors. Operational, instrumental and pedagogical strategies that were generated for the conti-nuity of teaching, and the teaching perspective on the change of modality, are covered in the article. Assessment results highlight the maintenance of the courses in real time, the preference of certain technological tools, the readjustments of the evaluation methods and the discovery of the possibilities offered by the new modality. Concerns focus on instru-mental aspects of access and management of technology and not of a pedagogical nature.
