Effectiveness of digital resources for cloned Linear Algebra courses at the undergraduate level

The changes forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, have made educational institutions adopt new practices in the use of VLEs platforms and, one of these is to homogenize virtual classrooms, for which this study aims to diagnose how effective are the digital resources for cloned courses, taking as a pilot the subject of Linear Algebra. The development of this research is longitudinal, empirical-analytical, and quantitative. The study is carried out in two periods, from October 2021 to September 2022, at the Salesian Polytechnic University in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, with a total of 944 first year students of engineering careers. As a result, fewer courses for academic risk monitoring were obtained, as well as a higher satisfaction among students and professors involved. It is concluded that the cloned classrooms are a factor of improvement in the learning results to be achieved.
