Abstract

Due to the national state of emergency, the restriction of mobility and the adoption of teleworking are established to fulfill the activities. The Higher Institutes take on the challenge of changing face-to-face classes to remote courses through virtual platforms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of ICTs and emergency remote teaching in technical and technological education. Data was collected from 140 students from 2 institutes in the city of Ambato. The impact of online courses and the use of technological tools was investigated. As a result, the students of the technological careers consider this new modality of receiving classes a learning opportunity, despite the connectivity problems that occurred in the homes, they consider that the contribution of ICTs and remote teaching as part of education distance learning is important in their professional training.
