Summary/Abstract: The 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic has spawned new ways for teachers and students tointeract. These new ways of interaction between the participants in the didactic act acceleratedthe identification of ways to use technology in the didactic activities. New skills had to beassimilated by the teaching staff to be able to carry out teaching activities. These new skills wereintroduced by education science specialists in a new model of skills necessary for the teacher todeliver a quality didactic act: TPACK (technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge). ThePedagogy Prime web application is a powerful tool for educators, primarily focused onfacilitating Percentage Coverage Analysis to ensure comprehensive course coverage aligns withdiscipline requirements. Beyond this core functionality, features such as Upload Discipline FileRules establish standardized guidelines for systematic file management. Display of CourseMaterials enhances transparency for both teachers and students, offering easy access to coursematerials. User Accounts for Professors and Students create a user-friendly environment,tailoring functionalities to the unique needs of each group. Additionally, CommunicationChannels for Students to Ask Questions About Courses foster real-time interaction, providing inappmessaging and course-specific channels. While our primary goal is to assist teachers inassessing course coverage, these complementary features collectively contribute to an organized,efficient, and collaborative educational experience. We remain dedicated to supportingeducators in navigating course management complexities and ensuring a comprehensive andstreamlined teaching process.The 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic has spawned new ways for teachers and students to interact.
