In this context, we place robotics and programming as innovative and versatile tools that adapt to active methodologies. With the arrival of COVID-19 and lockdowns, physical resources were kept out of use, and the virtual lectures did not propose to incorporate these elements in a meaningful way. This recent situation raises as an objective of study the need to evaluate if robotics and programming are content that can be taught virtually in these circumstances, without physical resources and without face-to-face lectures. To do this, a mixed methodology consisting of questionnaires and interviews has been incorporated, aimed at primary education teachers, families, and primary education grade students. The results suggest that the virtualization of robotics and programming is a feasible and beneficial alternative for students, which allows the development of digital skills, while it is enhanced with the use of audiovisual materials and online resources. Even though face-to-face classes have other benefits not offered by virtualization, and teacher training needs to be up to the task to face this situation, it is a matter of time to respond to these situations and to guarantee a high-quality distance education.application/pdfenopen accessEducación - Ayudas audiovisuales - Enseñanza primaria.Robotics in education - Education (Primary)Robótica - Aplicaciones en educación - Enseñanza primaria.Active learning - Education (Primary)Educational technology - Education (Primary)Education - Audio-visual aids - Education (Primary)Método activo (Educación) - Enseñanza primaria.Tecnología educativa - Enseñanza primaria.Artículohttps://doi.org/10.3390/su13158388https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es
