ABSTRACT
Today's education is in accelerated digital transformation, mainly promoted by the crisis with COVID-19. Face-to-face courses have had to be switched to virtual mode without many educational institutions being fully prepared for this change, which causes problems, especially with the quality of the courses offered. Therefore, strategies should emerge to evaluate the use of Information Technologies (ICTs) in education. One of these methodologies is expert judgment, so this work aims to present an assessment of an e-learning entrepreneurship course conducted by nine experts at a university in Mexico to analyze whether the course proposal was appropriate to achieve students' learning objectives. The results obtained showed that the course activities are appropriate for fulfilling the proposed objectives and the structure and variety of content were suitable for fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in students. It is considered that educational institutions can use this strategy to evaluate courses before implementation by experienced professionals in the study taking into consideration the current requirements caused by COVID-19 and that will remain with its effects for a more prolonged period.
