Tools, Resources and Techniques for Active Learning at COVID-19 - A Look at the Private Brazilian Higher Education Network

During the COVID-19, many teaching institutions have been forced to adopt remote education. Teachers and students have faced challenges to keep their activities and stay motivated to face that new reality. Thus, the interaction between teachers and students by information and communication technologies grew up and, consequently, the need for alternative techniques for teaching and learning. Therefore, this research aims to characterize the application of active learning techniques, resources, and tools during social distancing. Through a survey-based research, we analyzed 51 answers from teachers of private Brazilian higher education. As result, we observed that the virtual learning environments have been used as technological support to expositive and dialogued classes and, also, the improvising of active learning to remote classes. Still, they pointed positive perceptions about the conduction of teaching activities due to this period.
