AB - <p>The information and communication technologies over the last years have taken great importance in the educational field since it has a wide range of applications and tools that can be used to make education dynamic. The present research aims to make an analysis of the impact on the use of ICT in the modality of online classes at the University of Guayaquil in time of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ecuador. Due to the pandemic the university had to make a hasty change from the face-to-face modality to an online modality to avoid contagion in the university community but this implied new challenges for both students and teachers who did not have the knowledge or technological resources needed to make this transition. An exploratory and correlational study is presented below, it included 246 teachers and 276 students from the different faculties of the University of Guayaquil. An online survey was applied to these students and different types of questions were integrated into a questionnaire to collect the necessary information and later analyze the research. As a result, ICT was obtained as a major contribution to the teaching-learning process in higher education, but digital skills must be acquired to make proper use of ICTs.</p>
