Educational innovation mediated by ict in higher education: lessons from a pandemic in the midst of the society of burnout

The hectic times that have been experienced in the technopedagogical fi eld for more than fiftieen years have been exacerbated by the situation derived from the management of education from
home with the arrival of COVID-19, posing challenges that collide with the dynamics of an already saturated society that now must try to give space to emerging educational preparations in order to
sustain itself and endure in the midst of uncertainty. This writing aims to show the case of the University of Ibagué, to make a brief journey of its experience in educational innovation and how it prepared for the health contingency using ICT, accompanying the account of said processes with reflections derived from the work by Byung- Chul Han and other authors which have defi ned the fatigue society and how, by presenting the partial quantitative and qualitative results of a study, the teaching staff of the institution in mention, lived and perceived the implemented transformations, at the same time as intends to discern whether the plan carried out constituted an innovation in
itself or, on the contrary, it is a diff erent type of process, closing with new reflections derived from said results, mainly in the monitoring and appreciation of the workload and which in themselves constitute new challenges and uncertainties in the midst of a situation that seems far from being over any time soon.
