“…In Latin American countries, private universities have been the ones that have invested the most in digitalization in recent years, to increase the supply of online training [53] and their research productivity [14]. The need for virtualization of training caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have increased the differences in this regard between public and private universities in Latin America, in favor of greater digitalization in private ones [5,24]. The virtualization of higher education forces professors to adapt their teaching methodologies and incorporate innovative resources [65].…”

The use of digital learning environments in higher education has led to design methodological strategies, like gamification, adapted to computer‐based learning. The effectiveness of gamification depends on the adaptation of the methodology to the player's profile. Four types of player profiles (Explorer, Killer, Socialized, and Achiever) are established according to the Bartle classification. In this article, quantitative research is carried out on the player profile and the one considered best for learning engineering professors. Sociological and academic aspects that influence player profile choices are also identified. A descriptive and inferential analysis of the answers given by a population of 532 engineering professors —who attended a training course on gamification in digital environments—to a survey designed by the authors was carried out. The results reveal that most engineering professors are Explorers and this is also the player profile considered best for learning, although there is a gap between the own player profile and the choice of the most effective one. The player profile shown here to be the most frequent among engineering professors differs from that attributed to students in the literature, which is Achiever. Gaps by gender, age, teaching experience, and university tenure are also identified. Universities are recommended to strengthen professor training to design personalized game‐based computing environments and to cater to differences due to several sociological and academic aspects.

“…Latin American universities have tried to digitize training environments in recent years, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic [4,5,24,61]. This fact is linked to the increase in the use of innovative methodologies, such as gamification, in universities in the region [65].…”

“…The problems faced by migrant families and children, especially refugees include the inability to access the online education system arising from lack of gadgets such as computers, tablets, or smartphones in the household. Under these conditions, communication between the schoolteachers and the students was completely halted (see also Gómez & Andrés, 2021). For example, in Turkey, around half of refugee children were unable to conduct homeschooling during the lockdown (Kollender &Nimer, 2020: 5).…”

This chapter aims to shed light on the experiences of Eritrean and Ethiopian migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Hague, the Netherlands. These include health (both physical and mental), economic and social effects. Experiences that were particular to women and children were also explored. Eighteen individual migrants varying in terms of their gender, country of origin (Eritrea or Ethiopia), profession, years of stay in the Netherlands, and marital status were interviewed using an in-depth interview guide. In addition, key informant interviews were held with representatives of two organizations working with migrant communities. An intersectionality lens was applied to frame the complex and interconnected challenges faced by migrants. Specifically, the concepts of precarious work and gender-based division of labor were used to frame findings related to financial impact and women's experience with the pandemic, respectively. Research findings revealed intersecting layers of struggle that pose challenges to the

“…Similarly, the impact on schools is also a novelty when compared with past pandemics. In all countries of the world, Covid-19 has greatly reduced the annual hours of in-classroom teaching and consequently the quality of education of children and young people (Gómez & Andrés, 2021). And again, the consequences of school closures disproportionately affect developing countries.…”
