Improving online teaching

The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the foundations of our education. From one day to another, our students found impossible to attend to educational centres, which have been closed due to the lockdown established in most of the countries. Unexpectedly, educational institutions have been forced to adopt emergency solutions, migrating towards remote teaching models, the unique solution to face the situation. From this experience, education professionals start to reflect on whether online education can be a valid ally that allows the development of hybrid solutions in our educational systems. The answer is yes, but what has been done so far is not, strictly speaking, online education. This book presents a series of proposals to improve online education and to be able to face future situations of discontinuous presence that may happen, due to possible new total or partial lockdowns. It wants to be a support tool for all education professionals who need or want to take full advantage of the transformative potential that online education can provide.
