Approach to the theoretical foundation of the elements that intervene in communication
interactivity in online classes
classes. This factor falls, from the point of view of Rando (2021), on
the place and technological equipment such as: the use of a static
computer, headphones and a semi-professional microphone is
recommended to prevent the ambient noise from interrupting the
teacher's oratory development.
This adaptability environment also requires continuous training and
preparation on the use of ICTs (Gómez, Enríquez & Sánchez, 2020).
Rando (2021) emphasizes the resilience of teachers in the face of the
abrupt change from a physical classroom to an online one caused by
the Pandemic. In the case of Tecnológico Universitario Espíritu
Santo, during and after the Pandemic, the continuous teacher training
system focused on the constant updating of knowledge about
telematic learning and the mastery of pedagogical technological
resources for online teaching (TES, 2023).
Synchronous & Asynchronous Teaching
Duarte et. al, (2019) points out the great notoriety that the use of
virtual platforms has acquired in formal education. On the other hand,
one of the positive effects of Pandemic in education is innovation in
teaching, since the use of technological resources makes:
...The Virtual Learning Environment EVA has crossed the
boundaries of the conventional classroom and marks the direction
towards the futuristic virtual classroom that is developed through the
Learning Society and makes learning collaborative and lifelong
(Cañizares et. al, 2021, p. 332).
In the study conducted by Cañizares et. al, (2021) citing Ricardo
Chrobak and Ana Beatriz Prieto (2010) highlights some factors
involved in the development of classes adjusted to this technological
environment, such as: Organizing knowledge, making an outline of
the intervention of content and workshops within the timeline of the
class. The emotional impulse, as a tool of connection with the
classroom. And finally, "constructively integrating thinking, feeling
and acting, through experience".
Taking into account that these guidelines are now part of the so-
called pre-production of an online class, it is also necessary to
differentiate between synchronous and asynchronous teaching. In the
university environment, at the beginning of the Pandemic, teaching
turned to a virtual synchronous and asynchronous modality, dividing
it into two phases of action (Alfaro, Ortega & Lozano, 2022). First,
there are the virtual classrooms, whose class dynamics are generated
synchronously, i.e., live, establishing a class schedule similar in time
to the traditional modality. At this point, it should be emphasized that
