Novel Strategies for Emerging Challenges and Possibilities: University Teaching during the Pandemic

Resumen

This article aims to identify lecturers¿ digital skills and teaching strategies during the pandemic. For this, a case study was designed at a private Colombian university. Two instruments were employed: a survey of 363 lecturers from different areas and aca-demic programs on digital skills and teaching strategies and a focal interview with 19 lecturers surveyed. Then, the results were triangulated to have a broad perspective of the institutional reality. The results show a significant direct correlation between the professor¿s age and digital skills. Another finding is that the most often imple-mented teaching strategies were expository and, for assessment, oral presentations and questionnaires. The study makes it clear that professors are replicating in-person practices and do not take advantage of the possibilities digital resources offer for teaching and assessment.
