Faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, educational institutions have been forced to adopt technological means and resources to give continuity to the teaching and learning process, although the benefits are multiple, the truth is that, given the persistent digital inequality in our environment, it has been difficult almost impossible to make the most of these tools, a situation that has truncated educational quality and hampered the transfer of knowledge. This research analyzes teleeducation and the impact generated by the digital divide on the actors of the educational community. The study resulted in that teachers, students and families belonging to basic education are the most reluctant to adapt to technological environments, they have less availability of resources and a low level of virtual skills, having difficulties to generate virtual spaces for collaborative and participatory learning while those belonging to higher education do not show greater emotional or functional alteration is more familiar with online educational platforms, a common factor in the one that the study groups coincide is the decrease in educational quality associated with a greater work load and stress.
