The e-learning methodology was established for the first time in the late 1990s, however, since the Covid-19 pandemic, it has established itself asthe best alternative to traditional education, placing it as a benchmark worldwide. One of the concerns in the university environment where this study was carried out is to be able to determine the impact that virtual teaching has had compared to face-to-face teaching, since there are factors (gender, number of children, sex, age, type of study) that could influence the academic performance of students. Using the classification metrics within the comparative process, it was determined that among the implemented ML techniques, the XGBoost reached 78.4% accuracy, but was surpassed by the artificial neural network (ANN) that learned to predict with 82.4% . of accuracy. Due to the above, the use of the artificial neural network is recommended for the prediction of the academic performance of university students since, in addition, with its massive predictions can be made due to its high processing capacity.\u003Cbr>Key Words: e-learning, covid19, streaming, academic performance, machine learning, artificial neural networks, | RESUMEN:\u003Cbr>Este trabajo se describe la implementación de las técnicas de machine learning (ML): Random Forest, Xtreme Boosting Gradient, Suport Vector Machine, K-Nearest-Neighbor y Logistic Regression, así como la creación de una red neuronal artificial (ANN), que fueron comparadas para determinar la técnica que puede aprender a predecir con mayor exactitud, el bajo rendimiento académico de estudiantes universitarios, para mejorar los mecanismos de e-learning y streaming que les ayudea elevar el rendimiento académico. La metodología e-learning fue instaurada por primera vez a finales de los noventa, sin embargo, apartir de la pandemia del Covid-19, se estableció como la mejor alternativa a la educación tradicional ubicándola como un referente anivel mundial. Una de las preocupaciones en el ambiente universitario donde se realizó este estudio, es poder determinar el impacto que hatenido la enseñanza virtual en comparación con la enseñanzapresencial, ya que
