Criteria on a virtualization strategy for training processes

Abstract

Virtualization is a process that is increasingly implemented and required in the reality of higher education. From this perspective, the educational platforms and the various virtual teaching-learning environments are configured and put into operation for the various substantive processes of university institutions. All of this is constituted as the technological reality where significant administrative, management and training processes are developed. The importance is tangible to be in correspondence with current trends in Higher Education, especially to guarantee, structure and develop greater quantity and quality in distance processes, and under current conditions that is expressed in the "new normal".From this perspective, the need to outline the dimensions and indicators to be taken into account in studies related to the context of educational technologies is estimated. For this reason, the caracteristics of the Pedagogical, Technological, Communicational and Organizational dimensions are made explicit. Consequently, as an objective, the definition and treatment of said dimensions and indicators was proposed, and their expression in the elaboration and of a strategy that guarantees an advanced level in the use of ICT in a university institution. The research was considered non-experimental, focused on an in-depth documentary study. The main results are specified in the expression of the dimensions and their indicators and in the structuring and functionality of the proposed strategy.
