Resumen

The arrival of Covid-19 put the entire population on alert, especially the education sector, managing to face despair with confinement measures and virtual solutions to resurface and excel with education. The objective of this research is to analyze, describe and know the perspectives that Information and Communication Technology imposed to develop the teaching-learning process. The research design is descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative and qualitative in some aspects of the research, a sample of 104 teachers surveyed from two national universities in the Piura region was collected. The surveys were conducted anonymously, voluntarily and online. The measurement instrument is made up of three parts: digital skills, the use of Information and Communication Technologies and the barriers that teachers faced when developing their virtual classes. Resulting in an intermediate level in digital skills. Teachers, when developing their classes virtually, did not develop their level of digital competence due to a lack of "willingness" to be trained, while the frequency in the use of Information and Communication Technologies is of habitual use. Concluding that teachers managed to update themselves with technological advances and interact with WhatsApp, social networks, various platforms as well as the academic community learned to carry out collaborative work by learning to use the Driver, MS Office, Office 365, OneDrive and online presentations with the support of virtual environments.
