Teaching Immunochemistry in the time of a pandemic
Keywords:
virtual education, pandemic, immunochemistry, university teachingAbstract
Just before starting teaching our courses we were hit by a global pandemic that resulted in a mandatory lockdown. Classrooms were closed and we as teachers found ourselves in a situation where information and communications technology were our only tools. In this unexpected situation, we have been enforced to teach without a face-to-face environment. This article aims to analyze the experience of virtual education of immunochemistry in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of considerations and tips to bear in mind are summarized here. Although we are facing a transitory situation and we still have a lot to learn, these educational technologies will undoubtedly be part of our future courses.
