The health crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges for the entire society, including the educational community, which has had to make adjustments, adapt and undertake, without much space for preparation, a virtualization process to continue with the ongoing activities.

In this webinar participants will have the opportunity to learn about the ELSA platform, an initiative of the National Research and Education Network of Ecuador, CEDIA,  that aims to foster and support the training and knowledge transfer activities of Higher Education and related Institutions.

Active Learning System

The ELSA platform is an active learning system that CEDIA has developed with the aim of improving the quality, relevance and access of teaching-learning programs in Higher Education Institutions to generate a culture of digital innovation at a national level.
