CICITE is a multidisciplinary workshop that focuses on the challenges and the impact of communication and information technologies on education in a transversal way.  Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the world population in early 2020, and required governments to take emergency action in the most varied areas of society in order to contain its spread. Most countries have adopted WHO guidelines, which has led to the closure of schools. Education agents were immediately forced to reinvent themselves and adapt to a new educational model supported by digital technologies and based on online education methodologies. Many were, and continue to be, the challenges experienced by students and teachers, and new strategies adopted to mitigate the effects of the transition to online teaching, as well as the future prospects for education.
