In this article we explored the opinions of undergraduate students from a public university in Mexico, regarding the use of the Schoology platform as a tool for learning citizenship skills, during the covid-19 crisis worldwide. The methodology used was qualitative, the study was carried out on 51 participants, the activities they carried out during a course called Human and Social Training were followed up, a questionnaire was applied to find out their opinion using the Google form. The results obtained allowed us to observe that the participants did not use the Schoology platform to carry out activities on the subject, although they thought that it was a platform that allowed them to learn the contents of the subject. As a conclusion, it could be observed that technology can help in crisis situations, however, the change from a face-to-face school system to a distance one mediated by technology cannot guarantee the development of citizen competencias.
