Abstract: Introduction: The challenges brought by the continuity of the university teaching-learning process in the face of the measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 made the debate on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in medical education more important. Several strategies were used by teachers worldwide to continue their teaching activities. Objective: to investigate the strategies and uses of ICT in medical education in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Five databases were systematically assessed, using the terms “COVID-19”, “medical education”, “higher education” and “students”, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, resulting in 321 initial citations, with 18 final references after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Four key topics were identified in the literature: (1) Challenges for Medical Education prior to COVID-19; (2) Challenges in migrating to remote education; (3) Strategies to overcome challenges related to the learning environment; and (4) Strategies to overcome challenges related to assessments and exams. Conclusion: The use of ICT in medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic showed to be especially important, with considerations regarding the improvement in areas that were already used, the migration of some more articulated areas and experiences in clinical and procedural disciplines. There was also concern about the impacts of using ICT to replace the in-person presence of students in medical learning environments.

In the face of the advance of new technologies that has been occurring and reaching all sectors of society, this article presents a discussion guided by scholars about the changes that are occurring in education. It is important to think of how you can use so many resources available today while providing power changes in the teaching-learning process which until then was seen as something static and conservative. The task of the teacher in the twenty-first century is no longer ready to take the knowledge to the student, but rather has the role of acting as a mediator and facilitator in the process of knowledge construction. The changes that are taking place have led educators to seek knowledge and expertise so that they can perform satisfactorily their role in society.

The paper first addresses the educational policies dictated at the international and national levels to deal with the health emergency caused by COVID-19. The main objective of these policies has been not to stop the teaching-learning processes, moving from face-to-face and blended modalities to an online modality, trying not to neglect aspects such as educational quality. Afterwards, those dictated and implemented by the University Network of the University of Guadalajara (U. de G.) are analyzed. Then, the reality faced by the professors of the Centro Universitario del Norte (CUNorte) to continue their teaching work is described. Finally, the challenges in the short, medium and long term, related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the lack of training in digital platforms and tools, computer equipment for work, obsolescence of the same and problems of Internet connectivity, among others.

This chapter describes a visual learning design representation devised in an Australian funded project that focused on identifying and describing innovative educational practices employing the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Referred to as Learning Designs project (www.learningdesigns.uow.edu.au), the aim was to produce generic learning design resources and tools to help academics in higher education implement innovative ICT-based learning designs in their own teaching contexts. The chapter describes the Learning Designs project, details how and why the graphical learning design representation was created and provides an example to illustrate the visual formalism. How the authors have built on this work since the completion of the project is also discussed. The purpose of this chapter is to explain how this visual representation works so as to inform teachers and educational researchers of its potential to serve as a common language to describe learning designs.

RESUMO: Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a importância dos recursos tecnológicos no ambiente educacional como estratégia na formação de leitores de textos e do mundo. Para tanto, serão abordados a postura e o papel do professor diante desses novos recursos, os benefícios das tecnologias para o processo educacional e a importância das práticas de leitura do professor dentro desse processo. Aparecem também algumas possibilidades/sugestões de ambientes virtuais para o ensino de literatura envolvendo crianças. Nesse trajeto, autores como Ribeiro (2005), Leal (2006), Fernandes (2011) e Barreto (2001), dentre outros, auxiliam na discussão a que o trabalho se propõe e na conclusão de que a simples adoção das tecnologias não promove mudanças no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Para resultados mais eficazes, torna-se necessário um questionamento das didáticas tradicionais e uma redefinição do papel do professor e de sua interação com os conteúdos, metodologias e com os alunos. ABSTRACT: This article aims at discussing the importance of technological resources in the educational environment as a strategy in the training of readers of texts and the world. To that end, the teacher's posture and role will be approached in the face of these new resources, the benefits of the technologies for the educational process and the importance of the teacher's reading practices within this process. There are also some possibilities/suggestions of virtual environments for the teaching of literature involving children. In this path, authors such as Ribeiro (2015), Leal (2006), Fernandes (2011) and Barreto (2001), among others, will help in the discussion to which the work is proposed and in the conclusion that the simple adoption of technologies does not promote changes in the teaching-learning process. For more effective results, it is necessary to question the traditional didactics and a redefinition of the teacher's role and its interaction with the contents, methodologies and with the students.

Motivation can influence the success of the teaching-learning process. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is becoming more and more frequent. In fact, its presence is very engaging and may improve learning. This study is aimed at analysing the relation between university students' intrinsic motivation and their learning styles, where variables such as gender and the universities at which they study can be essential. For that purpose, the answers provided in both the IMI (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) questionnaire and the Felder and Silverman's Learning Style Inventory by a sample of 272 students from two different universities have been taken into account. The two questionnaires were completed online, allowing access from any device with an internet connection. Once the data obtained was analysed, a high correlation among the six dimensions of the motivation questionnaire was observed. Said correlation does not apply to Felder and Silverman's test, where there is little correspondence among the eight styles in the inventory. A clear relation between two learning styles (Visual and Reflective) and intrinsic motivation is also noted. It should be highlighted that on examination of the variables corresponding to the university where student study and the latter’s gender were examined, certain differences appeared, such as the prevalence of some learning styles in male participants.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) gives another vision of language learning and provides learners a certain pleasure to deal with these languages. The current work aims at shedding light on the existing link between the use of ICT and the improvement of the quality of teaching languages at the university. We will articulate our research around the following questions: what are the implications of using ICT in the process of teaching/learning foreign languages? Does ICT provide more independence for the learner? As a hypothesis, we propose the following: ICT sharpens learners' willingness and desire to learn while facilitating their access to language and culture. It installs them in a report of independence thus favoring the acquisition of the skills. To report on this problem, we will rely on a survey conducted within the Center of Intensive Language Teaching of the University of Biskra, Algeria. We used a questionnaire, as a mean of investigation. We subjected our corpus to a quantitative analysis followed by a qualitative interpretative analysis.

Resumo: Os recursos tecnológicos são ferramentas que auxiliam docentes e o uso racional desses enriquece a aula, auxiliando os alunos no processo de aprendizagem. Essa perspectiva reflete no ensino médico, o qual necessita se adaptar as novas demandas da educação. Nessa linha de pensamento, no presente artigo, apresentamos a educação médica em cenários pedagógicos distintos em que o uso de Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) auxilia professores no processo de ensino/aprendizagem, interferindo positivamente na  relação entre  aluno, professor e conteúdos. Destacamos ainda, o fato de que o uso das TICs é uma alternativa interessante diante da necessidade de humanizar o ensino médico. Palavras-chave: Ensino Médico. Recursos Tecnológicos. Desumanização. DO TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES DEHUMANIZE MEDICAL TEACHING? Abstract: The technological resources are tools that help teachers and the rational use of these enriches the classroom, helping students in the learning process. This perspective reflects on medical education, which needs to adapt to the new demands of education. In this line of thought, in this article we present the medical education in different pedagogical scenarios in which the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) assists teachers in the process of teaching, interfering positively in the relationship between  student, professor and subjects. We highlight the fact that the use of ICTs is an interesting alternative in the face of the need to humanize the medical teaching. Key words: Medical Teaching. Technological Resources. Dehumanization.

This paper sought to address the use of technologies aimed at enhancing mathematical learning at the university level. We sought to identify impacts of the GAMA project initiatives: Mathematics Support Group of the Federal University of Pelotas - UFPel that use Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) to create and make available audiovisual support resources and collaborative virtual spaces. The first part of this study reports the project experience in the production of pedagogical videos. Among other aspects, a presentation was made of the process of elaboration and availability of the videos in the referred channel, as well as their use in GAMA activities. The second part of the work reported on the project experience with the WhatsApp groups, which were created with the goal of providing collaborative virtual spaces. In particular, we present the result of an investigation that analyzed the content of 3,647 messages posted by students, scholars and teachers in the two existing groups. The research results allow us to conclude that the resources recently added to GAMA activities represented important alternatives to enhance the teaching / learning process in mathematics, resizing and resignifying the space traditionally assigned to the classroom.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the major driving forces of globalised and knowledge-based societies of a new world era. They will have a profound impact on teaching and learning for two decades to come. The revolutionary change which is taking place in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), has dramatic effects on the way universities carry out their functions of teaching, learning and research, particularly on the creation, dissemination and application of knowledge. These developments pose unprecedented challenges to higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries particular in South Africa as South Africa is viewed as the leading country on the continent.
