Resumen:
Sumario:As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational practice at different levels of the system was altered and subjected to a contingency situation that forced teachers to use technological tools and strategies for teaching in a virtual context. The purpose of this study is to describe the transition from face-to-face teaching to remote emergency education and the difficulties this presented for academics at the Universidad Arturo Prat (UNAP) in Chile, in terms of the use of available technologies for the development of teaching activities in the context of the pandemic. Qualitative research is developed to characterize the disposition and problems that the academics evidenced regarding remote teaching, through the perceptions of the teaching directors. The results show that academics have transferred the format of their face-to-face classes to virtuality, thus generating the application of a new teaching format in remote modality. Likewise, there is a differentiated use of the available digital technologies according to the age groups of the teachers.
