The education system around the world has had to face the crisis generated by COVID-19, which has required new challenges to change the way society interacts and the way to prepare professionally and academically. This research aims to diagnose the consequences that COVID-19 has had on the teaching processes in higher education. A non-experimental, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative research was carried out, under a conceptual and theoretical methodology that carried out the conceptualization. An instrument with validity and reliability was also designed that measured, according to the perception criteria, the impact on the technological, training, social, economic and health fields that have been presented in the academic community due to COVID-19. In the results, it was possible to identify that professors have a technological infrastructure to teach online classes with an institutional platform that is well accepted, which makes possible to move online. On the other hand, non-parametric inferential statistical studies with correlations resulted in a significant association between the variables of age and technological training with the skills to teach online and the teacher’s age with the health effects they have had. Otherwise, there was no evidence of a relationship between the variables of academic degrees and type of hiring with the online teaching skills. However, the results of the correlations are between moderate and low, so it is not possible to be conclusive in the affirmations of the existing correlation. Finally, the latent threat has to do with the fact that if the pandemic is not resolved in the short term, it can create uncertainty for proper academic planning.
