At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, classes at business schools went online almost immediately due to the restrictions for meeting in person. Some institutions transitioned smoothly as they already had experience in digital delivery, while others had to learn on the spot.
Al comienzo de la pandemia de COVID-19, las clases en las Escuelas de Negocios pasaron a ser en línea casi de inmediato debido a las restricciones para reunirse en persona. Algunas instituciones hicieron la transición sin problemas ya que tenían experiencia en la enseñanza en línea, mientras que otras tuvieron que aprender sobre la marcha.
With the new normal, changes in the preferences and perceptions of students and companies have become evident. Online delivery has become pervasive and permeates all kinds of programmes and courses, as it has proved to be effective in multiple circumstances, offering new learning opportunities and providing increased flexibility in the learning process than traditional formats. However, online learning can be challenging for traditional programme designers, teachers and instructors, who must be trained in new teaching and communication techniques, and the situation is aggravated by the fact that newer generations of students have a different approach to using digital technology.
Con la nueva normalidad se han hecho evidentes los cambios en las percepciones y preferencias de los estudiantes y de las empresas. La enseñanza en línea se ha generalizado y se aplica para todo tipo de programas y cursos, ya que ha demostrado ser eficaz en múltiples circunstancias, ofreciendo nuevas oportunidades de aprendizaje y brindando una mayor flexibilidad en el proceso de aprendizaje con respecto a los formatos tradicionales. Sin embargo, el aprendizaje en línea puede ser un desafío para los diseñadores de programas, docentes e instructores tradicionales, quienes deben recibir capacitación en nuevas técnicas de enseñanza y comunicación, y la situación se ve agravada por el hecho de que las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes tienen un enfoque diferente para usar la tecnología digital.
This workshop will be about how teaching and learning techniques have evolved and will showcase some successful examples of institutions in Latin America and Spain that have put the enhancement of online delivery at the centre of their strategy. This workshop is of particular use for programme coordinators/managers who are responsible for the design of their programmes, as well as faculty who teach on blended or online programmes.
