The autonomy of students in virtual classes has been a challenge since virtual education took place because of the current pandemic situation, bringing new challenges to educational workers. This article is derived from the secondary school practice experience of a group of students from a public university in Bogotá; the researchers of this study present the preliminary results of the ongoing practicum experience subject. It will present the importance of autonomy in the virtual educational context and how it affects the development of classes. This is qualitative research, a case study; the data were collected through field notes and class observations from seven secondary school groups. Findings suggest that participation is a chief variable in virtual class development and the challenges that teachers face are gaining a permanent place in the current educational reality.
