This paper analyses how a three-day distance training program for teachers, scheduled on short notice, can be used to develop the capacities in using the digital platform, the creation and management of digital resources, as well as the creation and management of a digital assessment, thus enabling them effective pedagogical continuity. Implementing this training methodology was recommended in the current emergency resulting from the global coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. The outcome has been the closure of schools and other educational establishments, resulting in the implementation of new forms of learning from traditional face-to-face on-site to off-site distance learning in the year 2020 and beyond. This distance training, which mainly concerns schoolteachers, was necessary to develop their new teaching model. Based on the evaluation of several professional training programs available in the open literature, and the data collection tools used in this research, the results show a specific evolution in the conceptions of these teachers to revisit the objectives of this training by the teacher-trainers for its possible deployment. © 2021.
