The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the very rapid adoption of teletraining tools, standards and methodologies<\/strong>. Distance university education, including the 19-20 end-of-year exams, has not been optional. <\/p>\n\n

Academic year 2020-21 <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The coronavirus crisis has brought about a radical change for students, professors and university administrators,<\/strong> who have had to switch to remote teaching and remote management overnight.<\/p>\n\n

Many universities have had to improvise solutions. Many teachers and students did not have the right digital skills and have been overwhelmed and misplaced. <\/p>\n\n

Once the first wave of the pandemic has passed \u2013 and hopefully, the last \u2013 it is necessary to prepare for an uncertain future,<\/strong> increasing the resilience of the education system.<\/p>\n\n

Each university, in collaboration with its regional administration, will establish a contingency plan before the start of the 20-21 academic year that allows, in case the health situation requires it, “a massive and immediate change to an online teaching system”.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n

Such contingency plans must include training plans for teachers in distance learning, adaptation of evaluation systems and establishment of schedules for tutorials.<\/p>\n\n

This is stated in the document prepared by the Ministry of Universities, “RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MINISTRY OF UNIVERSITIES TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY TO ADAPT THE 2020-2021 UNIVERSITY YEAR TO AN ADAPTED FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING<\/a>“, DATED 10 June.<\/p>\n\n

It also points out that “all adapted face-to-face measures must be made public prior to the opening of the enrolment period at each university”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Ministry of Universities, through the UNED<\/a> and in collaboration with the UOC, under the umbrella of the CRUE, has promoted the “University at Home” platform<\/a> to facilitate the transition from face-to-face to virtual teaching for universities.<\/strong> This platform has online teaching resources available to teaching staff and the university community as a whole, with useful content for online training: didactic modules, methodological orientation content, technological platforms and software.<\/p>\n\n

And university students, what kind of changes should they adopt, what kind of skills should they improve to take advantage of teletraining? <\/strong>It is a topic that is little talked about and that has many of the more than one and a half million students we have in Spain on tenterhooks.<\/p>\n\n

We compile the recommendations proposed by educaweb<\/a>, one of the reference portals in training programs and courses:<\/p>\n\n
