Due to the 2020 scenario, the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus prompted a substantial change in the methods used by teachers when teaching and implementing their classes. As a support mechanism for teachers in the face of the radical change from physical presence to virtual presence, two courses were designed by the School of Pedagogy of the Universidad Panamericana: the first on Instructional Design and the second on didactic tools that enhance interaction and revitalization of classes. The summer of 2020 was the ideal time to train and prepare teachers in the instructional design of online classes because, although the educational model of the university is face-to-face, the circumstances and health limitations forced a strategic change to carry on with the quality that characterizes the institution. The preliminary results that we analyze with the SPSS software indicate that for 90.5% of the teachers the content of the course contributed to their professional development and that 87.2% have sufficient elements to redesign their subject for the following semester, which is executed in virtual mode.

Este estudio tuvo como propósito analizar la relación entre la perspectiva de futuro, la dominancia de distintos patrones de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios. Participaron 175 estudiantes, con edad media de 20 años, que respondieron al Inventario de Perspectiva Temporal (ZTPI) y al Inventario de Estilos de Aprendizaje (ILS). Los resultados muestran que existe un papel mediador de los patrones de aprendizaje entre la perspectiva de futuro y el rendimiento académico. Se sugiere generar contextos de enseñanza que incidan en la adopción del patrón de aprendizaje dirigido a la comprensión de significados.

El artículo presenta los resultados de la aplicación de la escala de engagement digital de Mersey, Calder y Malthouse, que mide distintas experiencias de engagement en la utilización de plataformas digitales para conocer cómo los estudiantes universitarios están usando YouTube. Se extrapolaron de la escala las dimensiones educativas que presenta el modelo para hacer un análisis factorial de las dimensiones de engagement con YouTube más presentes entre la población universitaria de licenciatura y posgrado en la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara. Los resultados resaltan de manera remarcada cómo los estudiantes mexicanos se identifican con esta red social y presentan experiencias de consumo individuales y sociales, y la usan como una herramienta vital para reforzar sus procesos de aprendizaje autónomos, ycómo la navegación en la plataforma se ha convertido para ellos en un espacio alterno y complementario a sus espacios formales de aprendizaje, más allá de usarla para entretenerse o informarse.
