Abstract

In this work we share the experience of a virtual mathematics course under the modality of competencies at the bachelor's level in the Clinical Chemical Biologist career that is taught at the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León. Through the use of the Moodle platform, it served us communication and technical support for the ponderable activities of the course and the Teams platform for virtual classes. Using Microsoft Teams we were able to establish contact with the students since by having video calls we can see them in a timely manner way when they are in the session, facilitating feedback on a concern or question. In addition, the Teams platform allowed us to create teams or rooms where, in isolation from the general group, they can work in teams of 6 people to perform the exercises collaboratively. In addition, by conducting evaluations with written exams in virtual form, time and costs could be reduced by facilitating the use of techniques to evaluate larger and more diversified groups, allowing the development of new forms of evaluation and their integration with other learning activities, as well as immediate feedback. based on its results, it offers greater opportunities to practice the knowledge and skills acquired. Finally, the main problem of evaluation in a virtual or remote environment is usually that of reliability, since "it can induce plagiarism" And this is eliminated by the supervision with the camera on while answering their written evaluations. The question arose if there would be a difference in the averages of the group that took the subject virtually against the averages of previous groups that took it in person. The grades obtained with the group from the August-December 2020 period (virtual classes) were compared to two groups from previous years 2019 and 2018 who attended the learning unit in person, observing a marked difference.
