The study’s design was applied-quantitative, non-experimental, and transectional correlational. The results showed that the professors expressed to have a positive interaction with ICTs and had no difficulty using digital tools when conducting their academic tasks. They perceived that their performance was not affected negatively since they received training to meet with greater competence the challenges they faced. In conclusion, most professors were pleased with using the technologies implemented by their university during the pandemic; however, they felt tired at the end of the day and manifested that they worked more in distance education.
