Online education is becoming more and more valid, but as a different modality from the face-to-face teaching-learning process, it has special characteristics that must be considered. Online education is much more than uploading material to a repository and using it in a linear manner. Electronic online education platforms, seen as an integral system, offer a large number of technological resources that must be used according to the educational model that is being applied. To achieve good performance, an online education model must be based on a harmonious architecture of the educational, administrative, legal and infrastructure aspects of ICT, that is, an integral model. The educational models created based on the prevailing pedagogical models - behavioral, constructivist, cognitive and connectivist - must be implemented through an instructional design, aligned with the pedagogical objectives and learning strategies, based on the proper use of the technological resources of The electronic platform. Instructional design models, such as ADDIE, ASSURE, Dick and Carey, and others, applied to online education, should take advantage of the resources of the technology platforms and the characteristics of each. These models, as a guide to instructional design processes, can also be enriched with other methodological processes, such as DevOps, which through continuous deliveries enrich and keep the educational content updated. This article proposes strategies for applying the technological resources of online learning platforms, aligned with the instructional design corresponding to the different pedagogical models.

Faced with confinement due to COVID-19, educational institutions with face-to-face models had to continue their activities under conditions and with resources not used up to that moment. For this, the institutions formulated and put into operation continuity plans, which involved everything from remote education to hybrids between the latter and online education. Institutions that already had online or hybrid education programs were able to apply that experience to their face-to-face programs, allowing them to respond more quickly than those that did not. The stages of the teaching-learning process that were "adjusted" during this emergency in order to give continuity to educational activities were the last two, namely: the development of instructional material and teaching. In this work, an intervention is proposed in a previous stage of the process, that is, in the instructional design (ID), using the ASSURE model derived from the ADDIE model or approach. This intervention is based on the lessons learned during the pandemic, for the preparation or reformulation of study plans that consider information and communication technologies as a platform to enhance the effectiveness of learning, selecting them and establishing their use strategy from the stage in which the materials are designed, which may be useful considering that even if the students return to the classrooms, a virtual part will be preserved, that is, a hybrid model, in which the face-to-face-virtual ratio will be determined by the educational strategy of the institution.

The article is the result of an educational research project of the National Technological Institute of Mexico that involves Virtual Learning Environments (AVA). The objective is to determine the impact of using a VPA as a tool in the teaching-learning process of the face-to-face classes of the Ciudad Valles Technology. The methodology is mixed, qualitative and quantitative. The quantitative number determines the number of teachers used by AVA, the number of students in a Blending Learning (B-Learning) course, the number of courses designed in Moodle. In the qualitative, the impact of B-Learning on students is analyzed; determining the degree of motivation and performance that is generated when using AVA and the ability to use information technology to generate their learning strategies. A composite and structural analysis of the AVA used in the institute is presented, the research hypothesis is disclosed: the use of an AVA as a b-learning strategy, improves the level of performance of student competencies compared to students who follow classroom learning strategies. The manner in which the research is conducted, the frame of reference is described and relevant results and conclusions are shown.

It is no longer news that the novel Corona Virus pandemic (COVID-19) is ravaging and still destroying the world, killing so many people and sending economies in different countries into recession. COVID-19 came as a thief in the night in the household of traditional schooling. Gradually, the face-to-face traditional way of teaching and learning was immediately put on hold and all parties running to their shelves for cover as measure to avert the spread of the dreaded virus. What came up as a viable alternative to face-to-face or conventional mode of teaching-learning in school and higher institution is E-learning. So many of these educational institutions had to resort to learning through some E-learning platforms which include ZOOM, YouTube, Google Meet, Google Classroom, Duo, Free Conference Call, etc. This established the fact that majority of the organizations have made an instant switch to online collaboration inclusive of schooling systems. This paper therefore sort to examine how Nigerian schools are reshaping the schooling/education system as to align with the alternative model of teaching-learning most essentially as E-learning rest on major pillars which are undoubtedly deficient in Nigeria and amongst Nigerians. There are challenges to overcome in achieving the e-learning phenomenon in Nigeria, many students without reliable internet access, power supply and technology struggle to participate in digital activities, which hinder online learning. The paper was approached in an E-learning subscriber or user point of view around FCT Abuja metropolis which includes teachers and learners (students/pupils). Questionnaires were distributed to the E-learning users and also the teachers of E-learning. Data were collected and analyzed using percentage method and Likert method to arrive at a conclusion and useful recommendations were made to enhance e-learning during and post COVID-19 in the various educational institutions in Nigeria.

Digital Technology Resources (DTR) are considered essential in society and education for teaching-learning. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, higher education classes have moved from face-to-face to remote teaching. Therefore, students and professors have the challenge of using DTRs as the main artifacts in their activities. This paper investigates the professors’ perceptions of DTRs in teaching practices before and during social isolation. A survey that obtained 140 responses indicates that several DTRs will remainupon the face-to-face teaching modality resumes. So, by sharing the Survey’s results, we hope to support future instructional design practices and suggest new requirements for educational software development.

Currently, the 2019 Coronavirus Disease pandemic has caused serious damage to health throughout the world. Its contagious capacity has forced the governments of the world to decree isolation and quarantine to try to control the pandemic. The consequences that it leaves in all sectors of society have been disastrous. However, technological advances have allowed people to continue their different activities to some extent while maintaining isolation. Universities have great penetration in the use of technology, but they have also been severely affected. To give continuity to education, universities have been forced to move to an educational model based on synchronous encounters, but they have maintained the methodology of a face-to-face educational model, what has caused several problems in the learning of students. This work proposes the transition to a hybrid educational model, provided that this transition is supported by data analysis to identify the new needs of students. The knowledge obtained is contrasted with the performance presented by the students in the face-to-face modality and the necessary parameters for the transition to this modality are clearly established. In addition, the guidelines and methodology of online education are considered in order to take advantage of the best of both modalities and guarantee learning.

Abstract Active methodologies have been widely used in education to provide greater involvement in the teaching-learning process. In the face of the current pandemic scenario, remote activities are strategies to spread knowledge but require adaptations of face-to-face education. However, no records were found of its use to support research groups, which traditionally are based on personal contacts. The article reports the experience of selecting participants in the development of research in the area of starch prospecting, with an adaptation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) technique. The proposed problem was the characterization and evaluation of cassava starch for food industries application, using a sample limited to one gram. The PBL technique used research with a qualitative approach, applied nature, descriptive objective, and action research procedures. The five members that constituted the discussion group were from different professional areas and were selected among those who made up a larger group, with starch as the central theme. The PBL technique was adapted to be completed in three videoconference meetings, with intervals of 15 days. Based on the suggestions proposed and improved during the event, it was possible to outline the solution right at the first meeting. An analytical methodology can also be established within the specified limit, capable of prospecting its food industries application. Therefore, PBL as a strategic tool to develop research topics proved effective and flexible, and suitable for remote activities. It is recommended that it be better explored as a team leader and scientific research growth.

Objective: The purpose of the survey was to gather information from students on their learning preferences prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, barriers to online education during the pandemic, and the mental and psychological effects of COVID-19 on students. Method: Applying Google Forms, a cross-sectional pharmacy student-targeted online questionnaire designed to develop. In order to ensure that only pharmacy students responded, an introductory opening inquiry of the program name used to select out non-pharmacy students. Following that, these few demographic questions are asked to the participant's present institution and program year in which the participants currently in. Results: A total 260 pharmacy students received the survey, out of total 186 replies were received from professional pharmacy students, resulting in a response rate of around 71.5%. Almost half of the students (94%) chose traditional face-to-face training, while 32.8% preferred a combination of online and face-to-face instruction, and only 16.7% liked online instruction alone. The difficulties to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak show that, Issues with in-person communication (23.7%), pandemic-related anxiety and stress (22%), time management (19.9%), experience in online education (16.7%). The majority of respondents (87%) intended to incorporate online knowledge gained during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak into their teaching/learning techniques. During the COVID-19 epidemic, we discovered that practically all students were plagued by symptoms of sadness, anxiety, tension, and poor sleep quality, with the majority suffering from significant depression (31.2 %). Conclusion: This study concludes that most of the students are in favor of incorporation and applications of online learning experiences in teaching/learning practices garnered during pandemic. Furthermore, the majority of students had changed their behavior as a result of coronavirus, while nearly half of those polled experiencing an increase in anxiety and tension. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, online learning, mental health, Pharm.D students, Pharmacy education, face to face learning.

In March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted education worldwide. In the United States, the pandemic forced colleges and universities across the nation to adopt quickly emergency remote teaching and learning. The ability to pivot instruction seamlessly and effectively across learning formats (e.g., face-to-face, hybrid, online) while supporting student engagement, learning, and completion in an authentic and high-quality manner challenged higher education leaders. This historical review of the literature examines distance and online education from the 1700s to 2021 to identify how external and internal pressures and opportunities have impacted and influenced the evolution of educational formats pre-COVID-19, and how they will continue to evolve post pandemic. This historical review also explores how instructional design and pedagogy have been and continue to be influenced by technological advancements, emerging research from the Learning Sciences and Mind (psychology), Brain (neuroscience), and Education (pedagogy) science.
