A statistical validation with Cronbach's alphas and a social validation in which students indicated whether or not they agree with their results on each dimension were carried out. An online system where students answered an appropriate questionnaire to determine their student-profile was developed. The social validation shows a very good agreement among the profiles obtained with the instrument and the perception of the students. Suitable statistical techniques allow classifying samples of students in different clusters according to their profiles, where members of each cluster have similar profiles. Finally, this instrument, along with additional student academic information, allows to predict their academic performance based on statistical methods, and provides support for instructors to focus their teaching strategies and methods, in order to work and pay attention on those students whose self-regulation dimensions were relatively poor.

This tragic experience gave CCM staff, faculty, and students truly online expertise, which is now used due to the pandemic. The pros and cons of in-site classes versus online sessions are presented and discussed for engineering courses. A 25-item survey was designed containing categories such as human interaction, command on oneself, and academic performance, among others. A total sample of 396 engineering students was considered. Most students agree that the face-to-face scenario favors their enthusiasm for class attendance, their learning process as well as teacher and peer-to-peer communication. The lack of human contact, the lack of outdoor activities, and the difficulty in making new friends were also factors against education at a distance. Along the same line, distraction, depression, and stress incremented in the online model. However, from the academic point of view, student performance remained similar in the face-to-face model compared to the online model. The teacher's efforts in order to implement active learning activities through novel apps and simulations in the online model were remarkable.
