This study aimed to measure the perception of the use of digital tools to manage courses and videoconferences used by teachers from three higher education institutions in Mexico due to the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19). Through a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, the utility and perceived ease of use of the information and communication technologies (ICT) used by Mexican universities to transition from the face-to-face mode to the online mode was determined. For this, an instrument based on the technological acceptance model was applied to a total sample of 192 teachers from three universities: Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur and Universidad de Sonora. As main results, it was observed that the learning management system with a high acceptance evaluation in the three institutions analyzed was Moodle; while Zoom was the one that obtained the highest frequency with high valuation among the tools for videoconferencing.

Keywords : digital tools; COVID-19; educational technology; learning management systems.
