Hybrid university education in COVID-19 times: resources used by teachers

COVID-19 has been a crisis that has caused significant changes around the world. This supervening global pandemic situation has affected all areas of society, including universities. In this regard, face-to-face learning scenarios were converted into online or hybrid teaching with the use of information and communication technologies as a meeting point between teaching staff and students. This work is part of the University Teaching Research Networks Programme of the Institute of Education Sciences of the University of Alicante (call 2020-21) and its general objective is analyse the resources used by teachers in hybrid teaching in the context of COVID-19. A quantitative approach with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design was adopted. A questionnaire was designed ad hoc for data collection, which was completed by a sample of 367 students of the bachelor’s degree in Teaching at the University of Alicante. The data were collected online through Google Forms during class. The results showed that PowerPoint is the resource most used by teachers for theory and practice classes. In turn, notes, materials in digital format uploaded to the virtual campus, are the resource most frequently provided by the teaching staff. Likewise, the university’s virtual classroom is the resource most frequently used by teaching staff to interact with students. In conclusion, it can be said that the change of teaching modality has led to an adaptation of face-to-face teaching to virtual scenarios, without any profound innovation in the university educational model.
