- Abstract
March 2020 can be considered a turning point in the awareness of the need to allow a new pedagogical approach based on technologies and entertainment. With a snap of the fingers, all teachers had to be a sort of experts in the use of technologies and remote instruction. In turn, students started learning and interacting online with their teachers and peers and using the technologies to overcome the isolation feeling. And now that the worst scenario of the pandemic crisis is almost over, it is time to look back and be aware of the changes that emerged during these times, as some of them will become a "new normality" in education. It is already possible to identify some trends in the educational scenario, such as learning from everywhere, using more active learning, teaching relevant skills for a changing world, and using formative assessment. In this paper, we aim to contribute to the discussion of the future of Higher Education by presenting some of the pedagogical trends together with the opinion of the students about their use, gathered through a survey, never losing sight that we are all witnesses and actors of the educational scenario. Results will continue to the discussion about the changes that are taking place in education together with the need to prepare teachers for a future that is already here.
