Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to new digital practices and dynamics. Due to this forced digitization, teachers and students adopted distance learning modalities. This study aims to identify the challenges and opportunities that teachers of educational institutions had to adopt or reject distance classes. With an online survey of 93 teachers and a virtual discussion with another 30, we identified four general themes that group the main challenges and opportunities perceived by teachers when they had to adopt distance learning forcefully. These findings can help design better distance classes and understand scenarios of forced adoption of innovations.
