Abstract:
This article establishes an analysis of the scenario generated by the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to higher education processes. In this sense, it initially identifies the way in which higher education institutions had to create contingency plans that would allow them to continue with their educational activities, which led them to focus on technological mediation, seeking to reduce the negative impact of the crisis. The study establishes the development of a descriptive methodology focused on three specific phases related to the training, adaptation and implementation of the new training environment at ``Colegio Mayor del Cauca`` University Institution (Colombia), supported by the Moodle platform. The training process focused on the use of technological tools was largely due to the importance of the way it has been conceived within ``Colegio Mayor del Cauca`` University Institution in the COVID health emergency in which different dimensions intervene such as the organizational, communicative, technological and pedagogical ones that facilitated the enlistment of technological resources and their implementation in the teaching and learning processes aimed at students and teachers, finally allowing this proposal to allow the Institution to overcome the crisis generated by the pandemic. In this context, it is found that technology is increasingly becoming a strategic factor in education, but it requires continuous improvement and updating by users, in addition to adjustments at the methodological and evaluative level. Taking into consideration, the above, technological mediation becomes an important alternative to contribute to the improvement of training processes and therefore they must be dynamized within the incorporation of these resources.
