The students and teachers of La Salle-URL have adapted their working methods to the reality of the current situation, changing their routines so as not to lose the rhythm of their work. In this sense, many of our students have explained to us in the last weeks of studies virtualization how they have worked from home, what they have thought of the change to virtual teaching and how they have been able to continue their education despite the possibility of confinement.
On the other hand, some of our teachers, in addition to continuing their classes with the virtual system, have decided to advise the entire La Salle-URL community about healthy habits, work techniques and options to stay active and productive in the best way possible. Many of them have also analyzed the current moment from their field of knowledge, reflecting on COVID-19 and its impact on fields such as artificial intelligence, cyber security, sports management, e-commerce, culture and entrepreneurship, among others.
Students and teachers experiences
Both the teachers and the students of La Salle-URL have seen how the final section of the course has started to take place virtually. The COVID-19 forced the campus to close, and La Salle responded with the implementation of a teaching virtualization system, so that more than 99% of the subjects have been able to continue their course and the students have continued to train and learn.

In order to understand the implementation process of the teaching virtualization system, many teachers, academic leaders and students have explained in these two months the momentary reality of the studies at La Salle-URL. Students from all grades have explained how their studies have not stopped, and how they have been able to continue the development of practically all the subjects they are taking.

Practical recommendations
