CIMA Brief #21 COVID-19: Digital Technologies in Higher Education: What Do Professors Think?
The emergency has accelerated technological integration in university education. However, three out of four professors in the region do not feel prepared to use new digital technologies in the classroom. The lack of technological and financial resources, strategic planning, and training are considered the main challenges for their integration. More spaces for collaboration, digital skills diagnoses, and training are essential to face the educational challenges imposed by the pandemic.
