Graphic Design: Distance Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

This paper reflects on the working methods adopted in teaching during a pandemic (COVID-19), particularly in graphic design (curriculum unit with a solid practical component) in higher education. Namely, the challenges that were unexpectedly put on teachers, i.e., from one moment to the next, they were forced to change the way of teaching from face-to-face to virtual (distance learning), as well as the challenges (facilities and difficulties) that both the teacher and the students felt throughout the classes.
