AbstractThis chapter demonstrates the potential to challenge power relations, and reconsider teaching practices and conceptions of learning bodies. How do bodies in a digital learning setting perform are read and observed? How they can be included in learning settings? Since teaching and learning increasingly take part in digital learning environments, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, digital art teaching needs rethinking toward the knowledge of learning bodies and of the perception of learning in the digital realm: a digital corpoliteracy.

Cultural Gaps

As a result of the global pandemic, Colombian education is facing great challenges in the virtual world. Currently, social, economic and cultural gaps are widening, especially between public and private universities in Colombia. It is therefore necessary to investigate teaching practices in the virtual world under different social conditions.  This article aims to describe and analyze experiences, which constitute a baseline for the projection of didactic and pedagogical strategies for the teaching of disciplinary knowledge in the human and exact sciences. This research is of a qualitative nature and is developed under a descriptive perspective of experiences with interdisciplinary contributions from the human and exact sciences.   Among the experiences, the gamification and reasonable adjustments needed to universalize learning in the classroom stand out. Keywords: Virtuality. Methodological innovation. Colombian university. Public university. Private university.

<p>The latest outbreak of a new pathogenic coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is provoking a global health, economic and societal crisis. All-atom simulations enabled us to uncover the key molecular traits underlying the high affinity of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein towards its human receptor, providing a rationale to its high infectivity. Harnessing this knowledge can boost developing effective medical countermeasures to fight the current global pandemic.</p>
