Abstract

The objective of the study is to explore the experiences of students in the virtual classroom and the impact of digital competencies on the performance of students. Participants were 363 university students enrolled in the School of Communication at a private university in Peru. The instrument used was a 10-question questionnaire, based on a Likert scale. According to the results, the participants concluded that they were not entirely satisfied with the virtual classrooms, as they found it difficult to have a precise anchorage in the learning process. In addition, there are gaps related to the contents elaborated by teachers for asynchronous classes and synchronous lessons, finding advantages in the synchronic lessons, being valued by the student, because they can interact live and feel that they have a tutor supporting them. For this reason, information should be distributed in a straightforward and creative approach, avoiding long online periods and allowing long content in digestible and downloadable formats.
