Abstract
The incorporation of communication and information technology (ICT) has been a recurring theme in the most recent decades, generating a permanent debate about its implications, its effectiveness, the way to integrate educational proposals more effective than those already known, among many aspects. However, its obligatory nature was unthinkable. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a crisis that had been brewing from the emergence of mediated models of education and the beginnings of e-learning, but which multiplied due to the impediment of presence in the classrooms. Answering to the educational crisis motivated by the health emergency, an interdisciplinary group of academics generated a research project, which emerged at the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos (Mexico) where students of the Contemporary World seminar, took an active part in their own learning, designing initiatives to strengthen their global consciousness through virtual environments, sharing the experience with students from Central and South America. It should be noted that, as a background and motivated by the health emergency of COVID-19, a preliminary diagnostic investigation was carried out, aimed at teachers from eight Latin American countries, developing a Comprehensive program of pedagogical strengthening through virtual environments. This first research gave the impetus for a second project, now oriented towards university students who, incorporating the concepts of emerging pedagogies and social innovation, have developed learning strategies to enrich and make their own learning process more meaningful, making proposals, both theoretical and practical, with the collaboration of their international colleagues.
