Structured&nbsp;training pathwayswere designed for 319&nbsp;tenured faculty, 70 adjunct lecturers, and 52 university tutors, covering synchronous session management, e-tivity design, and the full range of Class interactive tools \u2014 including real-time quizzes, breakout rooms, collaborative whiteboards, and participation analytics. Outcomes are remarkable: sessions regularly recording over 500 simultaneous active participants, and more than 1,000 high-quality student\u2013teacher interactions per day documented by the IT division. Student satisfaction levels are consistently high. This model fully enacts the university&#8217;s strategic identityas a proximity institution \u2014 deeply relational yet entirely online \u2014 demonstrating that affective and pedagogical closeness can be intentionally designed, measured, and scaled through structured teacher training and technology-enhanced environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty&nbsp;development;&nbsp;Synchronous&nbsp;teaching;&nbsp;Digital&nbsp;affective&nbsp;literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliografia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Garrison,&nbsp;D.&nbsp;R., &amp;&nbsp;Vaughan, N.&nbsp;D.
