Abstract:

We are currently overcoming the global pandemic of COVID-19, but going through this experience has changed the way we live and carry out our daily tasks such as working or studying. It is precisely in the study where the field has been opened to virtuality that both schools and universities have had to adapt to video conferencing platforms and virtual classrooms to develop classes for students continuously. Although there has already been a return to face-to-face classes, certain virtual courses are still maintained, and the virtual option has the approval of people who study and work because it allows them to perform both tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze which video platform can offer them the best experience.

Keywords:

Virtual education, Video conferencing platforms, Internet, TICs, Peruvian university students.
