Even before COVID-19, one of the most important challenges that Higher Education faces today, is the need for innovative educational methodologies and flexibility. We could all agree that one of the objectives of Higher Education is to provide students with a variety of intellectual and practical skills that, at the same time, will help them develop competitive advantages such as adaptation and critical thinking. Universities should encourage students to be engaged students and lifelong learners questioning the status quo with the goal of changing it. New technologies and different teaching methodologies have to be implemented in order to reach that outcome. Among the strategic objectives of Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) has been to provide flexibility and satisfaction to students in the delivery modes of the academic offer. UDEM implemented a methodology that combines face to face with synchronous and asynchronous as delivery modes.
In this study, the experience of 185 students during courses implemented in new delivery mode was compared with 115 students in courses with traditional delivery modes. Students chose openly either way freely. After the experiences lived in 2020 and 2021, one can think that the face to face (traditional) delivery mode would be the one chosen by students. The results obtained in this study reveal that both delivery modes satisfy students and favor their learning process. The combination of delivery modes provides flexibility, so the proposal is that universities can include them in their academic offer as a response to the current student's learning interests and needs.
