This study describes the experience of teachers during the COVID-19 lockdown. The research explores the perceptions of public university teachers in Mexico regarding the problems and challenges they faced due to the transformation of their job, from face-to-face teaching to remote education, throughout the "healthy distancing" period of the first half of 2020. The teachers were sent an online questionnaire of open-ended and closed-ended questions. Their responses indicate an increase in their academic workload, especially in terms of the review of homework and projects, and special sessions to explain content. The teachers mentioned feeling more tired and even frustrated during the lockdown, yet they recognized certain strengths of distance education; in particular, it generated their reflection on the need to redesign content, depending on the educational setting.

Keywords : higher education; distance education; teaching work; teaching/learning process; new technologies.
