We face an unprecedented global crisis that has pushed major initiatives to emerge in different sectors, including education. The challenge of maintaining academic continuity in a crisis extending for months due to COVID-19 forced educational institutions at all levels to reinvent themselves for the new reality. In this context, Tec de Monterrey once again has demonstrated its vocation and commitment to innovation and ability to face significant challenges. The Vice-rectory for Academic Affairs and Innovational Education published the third edition of its Report on Educational Innovation.

This report aims to bring the community current about innovation at Tec de Monterrey, presenting its advances in adopting and incorporating innovative educational practices in the institution’s teaching-learning processes.

“The enthusiasm and commitment of our teachers, coupled with the coordinated work of the Schools and support areas, resulted in more than 9000 teachers from more than 25,000 groups migrating from a face-to-face teaching model to one fully digital and remote,” said Dr. Beatriz Palacios, Educational Innovation Director of the Vice-rectory for Academic Affairs and Innovational Education, the area responsible for issuing this report. “To maintain the academic continuity of the period February-June 2020 was the first great challenge to overcome. This required defining a model of contextual teaching, conducting teacher training, and migrating more than 55,000 sessions per week to a remote, synchronous format,” Dr. Palacios pointed out.

This third edition of the Report on Educational Innovation shows the results obtained during the period August 2019 – December 2020 in four main areas:

  • Transformation to a digital teaching model to address the contingency: the great innovation of the year.

  • National Schools: The challenge of adapting to the digital world.

  • Institutional initiatives beyond the contingency.

  • Recognitions for Educational Innovation.
