Abstract
Exploring the perception of new literacy competences among teachers and students has been relevant, since the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed teaching and learning experiences. In this sense, the purpose of this research was to characterize the potentialities and limitations of new literacy levels among a group of students and teachers at the University of Sucre, Colombia. The research is based on a cross-sectional survey approach. The sample population was 188 active students. The type of sampling was simple random. The findings report that 95% of the teachers use the computer daily in contrast only 55.3% of the students use it. In relation to the creation and production of content on the web, more than half of the students and teachers do not create Web 2.0 content. With respect to ICTs more than 90% of the teachers and 87% of the students integrate them in academic and pedagogical activities. These findings suggest that both teachers and students need to make more significant effort to integrate ICTs tools and new literacies into their daily teaching and learning processes.
