VIRTUAL EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (DOMINGUEZ)

 

This paper is about the way all this happened in the city I live, Rafaela, a 120000

people town which was also affected by the pandemic. The first chapter is devoted to

explaining the theory of Connectivism, a learning-teaching approach that accommodates

the e-learning environment, which focuses on forming networks of connections to foster

collaboration, interactivity, critical thinking, and autonomy. The following one is devoted

to the characteristics of the main synchronous and asynchronous tools used during

quarantine. Finally, in chapter three, teachers from four different language institutes from

Rafaela will be analyzed so as to determine how they adapted to online education, the

tools they selected for teaching, and how collaboration played a crucial role in e-learning.
