Keywords: Educational inclusion; university resolutions; virtualization process in Pandemic

Abstract

The article presents a theoretical development and a descriptive analysis of the measures that were taken during the pandemic in order to create spaces for inclusion at the National University of Córdoba. The regulations that emanated from different areas of this university addressed a variety of academic, administrative, pedagogical, technological and social issues, among others and emerged from the exceptional context resulting from social isolation measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also from the asymmetries and inequalities existing in this university community. From the methodological point of view, the resolutions issued in 2020, which modified the forms of face-to-face courses and enabled the virtualization of academic activities, were recovered. A description and an analysis of their fundamental contents were carried out. It is interesting to review these regulations not only as a form of institutional response to a critical situation but also as a form of problematizing the measures and alternatives that were constructed to reduce gaps in educational inequality. It is also an opportunity to review the implications of adopting an approach based on inclusion in the field of higher education.
