Abstract

On March 11 of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a state of public calamity due to the widespread contamination by the Covid-19 pandemic, a disease caused by the new coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2). The worldwide educational system was affected by the pandemic, forcing the suspension of in-person activities by schools, universities, and colleges. The Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), by Ordinance No. 090/GR/REITORIA/UFPB, determined the suspension of all classroom classes within the UFPB scope during the health emergency state from Covid-19.
