Abstract

The present article explores teachers´ perceptions of the adjustments required in the teaching – learning processes, due to the abrupt challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the need to impart all academic activities remotely. This descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted by means of a survey, directed at the members of the Department of Morphological Sciences, at the medical school of the Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia. Despite the results demonstrated difficulties by the teachers to adapt to this new model of teaching through the use of alternative channels of communication and learning, thanks to this challenge all teachers increased their command in information and communication technologies, where Blackboard was the platform of choice. On the other hand, teachers valued the fact that the academic activities were able to stay on course, enriched by new technologies that have now become an integral component of the teaching-learning environment, since they present opportunities of innovation.
