Abstract: COVID-19 has meant that educational institutions have had to implement remote classes, causing students and educators to use technology as a means of communication to attend and conduct classes. The literature has widely shown that equivalent scenarios in work environments generate high levels of techno-distress and affect workers' performance. However, the effect of the forced use of technologies for remote learning has not been sufficiently studied in educational environments. To help close this research gap, we conducted a study with 189 students on three antecedents of techno-distress and its effect on their performances. After a follow-up phase of this research, we replicated the study with 172 educators to reduce systematic errors and reach more general conclusions about the antecedents and effect of techno-distress due to remote classrooms.
