The objective of this work was to evaluate the design and implementation of the practical activities of Pharmaceutical Analysis I (PAI) in the framework of virtuality, based on the incorporation of videos and images with experimental data and a fieldwork on stability. Methods: A survey was conducted using Google forms, which was answered by 15 students out of a total of 52. Results: The course was rated by the student as very satisfactory (66.7%) and satisfactory (33.3%). The students manifested that attending the virtual course was a positive experience and learned relevant content for their professional practice. 80% considered the videos were didactic to improve the comprehension and manifested they could help to improve skills and avoid accidents in presence-based modality. 40% considered the fieldwork challenging and 60% useful and easy to solve. In addition, 80% considered that "It allows relating content of the subject with the role of the pharmacist and should remain in the planning." Conclusions: It was possible to adapt PAI to virtuality focusing on the fundamentals and objectives of the subject, allowing to detect needs in students and reflect on the relevance of technologies in classes, even for an experimental subject.
