INTRODUCTION The confinement measures imposed by the Executive on the Coronavirus pandemic have turned digitalization into a necessity; and the development of applications that allow us to do everything remotely, in essential. One of the sectors that already had quite a long history is training, and its need to adapt to the new situation has been urgent, but not as intense as in other sectors. The arrival of the crisis has forced the various training schools, universities and postgraduate centers to put all their tools online, and those that did not have them to make them available to students who could no longer come to their centers to receive training of excellence [1]. Thus, the optimal format for continuing training activities is to provide online access training. Currently there is a wide variety of training activities that are carried out in online format, such as those described in the papers [2]. It is also important to identify the challenges involved in making a Abstract— Firstly, the IEEE Student Branch at UNED belongs to the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE Student Branch at the UNED is an association of students of the UNED based on volunteerism, sharing knowledge and experiences, desire to improve and interest in science and technology. The crisis of the coronavirus has turned the online formation into a good of first necessity and in a challenge so much for the students as for the companies of formation. The former has had to get used to seeing their teacher through a screen. The second, to adapt all content to the online universe. For this reason, from the IEEE Student Branch at the UNED we have developed several activities during the COVID- 19 to provide a series of training resources online and free. Throughout this paper we describe the activities carried out, the technological resources used, and the benefits obtained, both for the Student Branch itself and for those attending the different activities. In addition, we provide a series of lines of future work.
