The development of the English II symbol will be in non-attendance mode, so it demands a

teacher, but it will be accompanied through the meet google platform provided by the University,
which can be accessed from any device that is connected to the internet. In this unit, we will help
to use the different learning tools that the Classroom platform uses in order to familiarize and
interact with the teacher so that the contents of the course are developed, as well as the
activities, self-assessments and evaluations that lead to the presentation of an academic report.
