Abstract: The objective of the research is to identify the digital competences (DC) necessary for students of remote emergency education (REE) in Brazil and to discuss the needs in the continuing education of teachers. The research had an interpretive qualitative approach of applied nature, being exploratory as to the objectives and as a procedure a case study was used. For data collection, data from an extension course in the Distance Education modality offered at a University was used. The collection took place through a “Task” activity of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in which the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed by the REE students were asked. Thus, 29 teachers who work with different audiences and teaching modality participated in the survey, in which they are offering, or will offer, classes at the REE. The data have 10 DC for the REE, and these were identified by the professors as important in the modality. In Elementary School II and High School were identified 3: Basic use of computer (desktop) and/or mobile device; Digital Literacy; Communication via videoconference. In Technical Education, we identified 2: Use of VLE; Communication via videoconference. And, finally, in Higher Education, 5 DC were identified: Basic use of computer (desktop) and/or mobile device; Use of VLE; Communication via videoconference; Cooperation; Production of digital material. The data show a concern of teachers regarding the basic use of digital technologies and, mainly, qualified and critical use so that students become producers and protagonists of the remote learning process.
