This article addresses the positive effects of the coronavirus pandemic on higher education. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on the world’s economies, but new opportunities have arisen for education. Among the outstanding achievements of recent years, we note the increase in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and a greater approach to flipped learning. In addition, as students were affected by the pandemic, teachers had to reinforce their soft skills to motivate and guide them. Including virtual and augmented reality as teaching material in higher education has also sparked teachers’ interest. Based on this experience, we consider that many of these changes will be maintained in the future. The projects evaluated so far conclude that this benefits the learning process.
