Virtualization in basic university subjects: a conceptual study

Abstract

The knowledge society is generating changes in the training processes of university students. The new technologies are transforming the ecology of the classroom, which is why the Autonomous University of Chihuahua offers virtually the basic university subjects through the Moodle platform, with the purpose of facilitating learning in collaboration with others. In addition, being asynchronous, the student has control over what he learns, how he learns it and when he learns it. So it was important to build a state of the art about virtuality, through a documentary research that was developed applying hermeneutics and heuristics. It was carried out through bibliographic research of articles and institutional documents that provide this approach to the relevant information, to the theoretical conception of the current educational model. The findings and discussion focused on coincidences in the educational models of the institutions that should have a humanistic, innovative and relevant sense in relation to the needs that the country requires. From this perspective, it is at the university where students must be trained to face the challenges that they will surely challenge when they pursue their career.
