Experience report on the democratic management of the Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul in times of pandemic
Abstract
This paper aims to report the experience of the Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul in the process of implementing a gradual and non-classroom return planning to the University's teaching activities during the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It is characterized as an experience based on empirical research with students, professors and technical staff of the University in order to provide data related to the conditions of access to technological tools, internet and mapping of risk groups. Such data allowed the institution to organize, through a democratic management built with the participation of representatives from all instances of the academic community, a gradual return to remote and non-classroom teaching, for a shorter semester. The results show that the actions taken were positive and allowed the education continuity even amid the limitations imposed by the health crisis.
