The training sessions were coordinated by the Directorate of Human Resources and the Public Company Prodeuteq with the aim of fulfilling the academic improvement plan for teachers of the institution. María E. Párraga, Director of Human Resources at UTEQ, commented that these sessions are fundamental to examine aspects that need to be polished before the start of classes. "These courses will help teachers to strengthen their competences with the use of important didactic techniques that favour student learning," said Párraga.

Harold Escobar, academic director of the UTEQ, indicated that "the university is about to be evaluated and it is necessary to defend it with joint work, linking teaching with research, aspects that are of great importance to improve our work".

As part of the set of topics to be discussed at the conference, the following stand out: Philosophy of Higher Education; Digital competences in university teaching; Socialisation of the Institutional Evaluation process; Didactics for people with learning difficulties; Tutorial work in Higher Education, etc.
