Since March 2020, measures to control the transmission of COVID-19 - suspension of activities, social isolation, masks, and mass testing of the population - have had consequences in Education: suspension of face-to-face classes, organizational instability, precarious pedagogical responses to the emergency phase, and migration to digital methodologies, with negative and segmented results in the student population. Students were forced to adapt their domestic reality - spaces, routines, family dynamics, available digital media - to the Emergency Remote Learning, deepening exclusion and inequality. The pandemic exposed the Brazilian structural problems sedimented from its class division. The pandemic and the socioeconomic problems described favored a climate of anxiety and distancing within universities. Even those that had been working with active methodologies, mediated by technology, ran into a lack of planning, education for the use of digital media, and the precariousness of the material conditions of existence of a significant part of the students, who stopped participating in classes due to problems related to the situation: insomnia, panic and depression.
