Distance learning experiences at the University of Guadalajara, Mexico. Towards a hybrid model

Abstract

[EN] The recent health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, known as the COVID-19 virus, disrupted essential areas of the economy and led to the implementation of new forms of teaching and learning in education. At the University of Guadalajara (UDG), Jalisco, Mexico, practical distance learning tools were adapted, and teaching staff was trained to use them; however, areas of opportunity were left visible beyond the work of universities. With the data resulting from a survey of students at the University Center for Economic and Administrative Sciences (CUCEA), we concluded that the strategy implemented by the university was successful; however, the outcome of the learning process was not wholly successful there were significant shortcomings.
