The coronavirus crisis has not only affected the health system of all countries in the world, but it has affected the economic, social and even the educational system.
Faced with the coronavirus, it was impracticable and dangerous to keep students in school, making it necessary for new teaching modalities to be created, so that no student would be harmed in such an uncertain period. In this case, an online teaching method was created, where students would attend classes inside their homes, with the help of a computer and internet, preventing the academic year from being harmed.
What seemed like a simple solution has become more complicated than usual, since the difference between traditional education and online education has created many problems that are difficult to solve. First, the online class decreases the interaction between teachers and students, which can impair the understanding of the contents taught, in addition to preventing the exchange and interaction between the ideas of all individuals. Nevertheless, traditional education creates an egalitarian environment, where all students can excel, this does not happen in online education, as not all students have access to the internet and electronic devices.
What we can conclude from this is that although online education is essential at the moment we are living, it is important that it is optimized by reducing its disadvantages. In addition, it is necessary for students without the necessary resources to attend classes online to receive support to help them overcome this problem.
