Professor Diego Mauricio Barrero Acosta, from the Music program at the Zipaquirá Extension, believes that the greatest impact of the change from face-to-face to virtual classes has been the interaction with students, and that this modality has strengthened important areas such as audiovisual music recording, since music students were forced to improve their recording methods with their instrument, improving the quality of sound and image, based on new ideas, such as musical ensemble and song production from home.
The transition from in-person to virtual learning at the institution's Chía and Zipaquirá campuses has been a positive adaptation process because students have responded well and professors have excelled in using technology and the institutional platform to deliver classes in a pedagogical and didactic manner. In Chía, 951% of the student body is attending virtual classes, and in Zipaquirá, 941%, explains Juan Carlos Torres, administrative director of the campuses.
