Abstract

The way students learn changed significantly over the past two years, due to the current pandemic. However, this change was neither desired not planed beforehand. As a result, in many cases, it may have been undertaken without the appropriate care. In this paper we propose a framework for online education tailored for Computer Science degrees. Its goals are twofold: to avoid disruptive changes by providing a familiar and supportive structure for teaching/learning activities, and to motivate Students to learn autonomously, despite their reduced contact with their peers or the Teacher .
