Abstract

This article brings initial findings of an ethnographic research carried out with higher education students on their experiences with remote education in 2020. After the suspension of face-to-face activities during the pandemic, teachers and students found themselves immersed in challenges arising from the loosening of bonds that support teaching-learning relationships. The research seeks to understand how students perceive and signify their experiences with remote education, considering their material conditions to do so and the network of actors and agencies that thereafter determine these experiences in the domestic space. Thus, this study focuses on the experiential dimension of digital technologies, considering their ubiquity in contemporary life. Finally, the intention is to contribute to the design of educational projects that transcend technological instrumentalization and align with the most significant interactive grammars of contemporary socialities, shaped by the pervasiveness of digital technologies.
