Abstract
This study analyzes the effectiveness of Genially, a digital tool, in distance education at the Unidad Educativa Fiscomisional Yachana Inti, which focuses on young people and adults with incomplete education. In the current context of educational digitalization, accentuated by the pandemic, the importance of tools such as Genially is highlighted. A quantitative approach was implemented, applying surveys to 40 teachers, to evaluate the usability of Genially, its impact on student comprehension and participation, and its integration in teaching. The results indicate a favorable perception towards Genially, highlighting its role in increasing interactivity and student engagement. However, challenges such as the learning curve and the need for more technical support were identified. These findings support the effectiveness of digital tools in distance education and highlight the need to adapt teaching practices to emerging technologies. Despite the positive results, the limitation of the study is recognized due to its restricted geographic and demographic scope, suggesting the need for further research to generalize the results to other educational contexts.
