Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised great challenges for the entire society and, in particular, for Higher Education. The necessity of adapting in record time the courses designed for face-to-face teaching to remote teaching environments has entailed a significant effort for the university community in general, and very especially for the lecturers. Furthermore, many teachers have had to deal with their limitations handling digital technologies, the lack of technical support and the unavailability of adequate equipment. These inconveniences have made teaching even more difficult in its objectives of maintaining student motivation and the quality of learning and carrying out an objective and fair assessment of student’s progress. In the present work, experiences in the subject of Engineering Thermodynamics taught in various degrees of the School of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Zaragoza are collected, with special emphasis on those tools and methodologies that have had the most successful results.
