Abstract
The context of lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic has prompted a reflection on distance learning, professional practices, and assessment methods. Information and communication technologies (ICT) offer multiple possibilities for resource production and sharing, communication, and remote evaluation. In this article, we address questions related to the transition from in-person to remote assessment. This aims to exchange insights about the benefits and nuances of this type of assessment and to address issues related to grading and providing feedback to students remotely. The experience of educational continuity was an opportunity not only to test distance teaching approaches and methods but also to address questions that arose from this specific event.
