Abstract
COVID-19 disease caused an out-breaking with
implications in citizens’ private and public life. Face-to-face
higher education had to adapt their lectures abruptly to a
remote emergency mode. In this situation, both methodological
and technological decisions had a principal role in closing the
2019-2020 academic course successfully. In this paper, the
strategic decisions of the University of Salamanca (Spain) at the
institutional level are summarized, taking into account not only
the principal goal of ending a contingency situation but focusing
on how to face the 2020-2021 academic course, in which one all
the universities know that they will have to operate with the
disease, but the uncertainty will be still present
