Through its Coordination of Distance Education, through this mechanism it is intended to make maximum and optimal use of the technological resources in education that are available.
According to the coordinator of said agency, Mtro. Jaime Suárez Villavicencio, the pandemic we face today prevents face-to-face contact and this has led to the need to advance in alternative educational modalities, especially those that belong to the virtual field.
This complexity, which continues to represent a great challenge, forces the communities of educational institutions to be in continuous preparation; particularly, for those who make up the UABCS, it has meant a great deal of effort to maintain classes and services remotely.
With this idea, the highest house of studies in the entity has been working on different fronts, placing great emphasis on the teaching part, which has its own didactic processes, such as how to approach classes, the use of multimedia resources, the dynamics participation through various channels and ways of evaluating the performance of both students and teachers.
Thus, prior to the start of the next semester and due to the conditions that still prevail, he reported that between January 18 and 22, a series of online courses will be taught for teachers to further develop their skills in the matter and this results in better student learning.
