RT Journal Article T1 The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Digital Competence of Educators A1 García Gutiérrez, Boni A1 Alario-Hoyos, Carlos A1 Pérez Sanagustín, Mar A1 Morales, Miguel A1 Jerez, Óscar AB The COVID-19 pandemic is having an undeniable impact on all aspects of society. Regarding teaching and learning activities, most educational institutions suspended in-person instruction and moved to remote emergency teaching during the lockdown of March and April 2020. Although many countries progressively re-opened their educational systems, online and hybrid education became a common practice aimed at reducing the spread of the COVID-19 disease. This disruption has caused an unprecedented acceleration in the digitalization of teaching and learning. Teaching professionals have been forced to develop their digital competence quickly, achieving mastery in the management of information, creation of audiovisual content, and use of technology to keep their students engaged.
