Educational institutions in unexpected settings

Abstract

In the following article we are going to analyze the impact that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had in our country, specifically in the field of education. We will try to make a synthetic description of how, from the suspension of face-to-face classes, educational institutions were forced to implement emergency remote teaching that promoted the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to sustain pedagogical continuity. and maintain the links between teachers and students. Our main interest is related to reflecting on the institutional actions and adaptations that were implemented. At the same time, we will analyze the nuances that could arise in some institutional settings and we will try to detect some alternatives that could be glimpsed in the face of a post-pandemic scenario, pointing to the future (and possible futures), asking ourselves about the importance of devising or rethinking institutional projects that include ICT in a comprehensive and long-term manner.
