Academic activities worldwide were interrupted in face-to-face mode due to COVID-19, which imposed confinement and social distance measures, which meant moving from face-to-face to non-face-toface emergency. The use of information and communication technologies (ITC) is here to stay. The gaps in the conditions of internet access and affordability, added to the failures of other services such as electricity in the Latin American and Caribbean region and especially in Venezuela, constitute a new form of exclusion for some segments of the population in all educational levels. Traditional educational programs must be transformed and adapted to distance education, making it necessary for teachers to learn to produce and manage content and offline and online tools to meet the demands of synchronous and asynchronous processes in their hybrid or non-face-to-face modalities. Mastering the tools and technological platforms is essential for the planning, design and execution of virtual activities and for the improvement of university education. It is proposed to review the opportunities for non-classroom teaching of nutritionists in Venezuela. The current educational emergency opens up a world of possibilities such as open access to online research and collaborative work, however in some subjects in the health sciences such as nutrition, the practice will continue to be irreplaceable.
