Radio and Television: Classic Tools for Modern Education

The use of audiovisual media in education has been a consistent resource over the decades, especially in the context of distance learning.

Radio, television, audio, and video have played a crucial role in supporting teaching and learning processes, providing an accessible and flexible alternative, particularly in situations where digital connectivity is limited or non-existent.

These resources, though sometimes considered obsolete in the digital age, have proven their effectiveness and relevance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when mobility restrictions and the closure of educational facilities forced educational systems to quickly adapt to new forms of distance learning.
