Abstract:

The world pandemia of Coronavirus forced to close educational institutions all over the world, specially in Argentina, where face-to-face classes have been suspended for four months and there is no news about going back to classrooms.

Any lesson planning made at the beginning of the year was seriously affected by this issue, and professors where suddenly forced to change everything: their way of teaching, their way of communicating with students, their way to assess students ... Some of them, overcame the obstacles, being able to keep up with the planned pace, others felt uncomfortable but could manage, and a few were prepared for what was coming.

Students also had suddenly adapted to a new way of learning. Some with scarce technological resources, could not keep up; others tried with some difficulty, others were able to.

The experience of the course of numerical analysis of electrical engineering at Facultad Regional San Nicolas is presented in this paper. Since many years ago, flipped classroom was being considered as a strategy for teaching in this course, so many resources were available to help in the process of virtualizing the classes. Besides, Zoom meetings were taken as the place where classes took place, with good results. The use of the blackboard was replaced by a digital board, which made the classes as if they took place at the classroom. Continuous assessment could be handled, by considering the fulfillment of the activities proposed in Moodle, and an experience of teamwork in distance was carried out.
