Abstract
The pandemic has affected humanity, and one of the areas of greater impact is higher education, since it has affected by the closure of educational institutions. Blended learning is a modality that has proved to be effective in a situation like this, because it brings together the best of F2F and online learning. Several surveys have been constructed to assess readiness of institutions for online and blended learning, since before the pandemic, and they coincide with evaluations that have been carried out of an online learning project in a Mexican higher education institution; they coincide in some factors that have been proposed to be responsible of readiness. In this pilot study, we present results that show readiness for blended learning in a Mexican higher education institution. Results indicate that Mexican metropolitan institutions are ready for blended learning. Qualitative results suggest that members of the community prefer blended learning, and in quantitative analysis an exploratory factor analysis and structural equations method show that there are five factors interrelated: Teaching Quality, Autonomy Skills of Students, Computer SelfEfficacy, Access to Computers and Blended Learning Satisfaction.
