Abstract

In this research article an analysis and evaluation of virtual learning spaces is carried out. To address this process, three (3) academic virtual platforms were selected, Moodle, Blackboard and Jimdo. The methodology used was of a descriptive type, applying the synchronous and asynchronous methods of virtual teaching established in each of the Institutions. A description and evaluation of each virtual platform was carried out taking into account four identified criteria: the technical and material design; instructional design; tutorial action and the virtual class. The evaluation using educational platforms generated scenarios of innovation from the social view since it allowed both the teacher and student to rethink the evaluation not only as an instrument but as a transversal process linked to different fields such as: social, cultural, economic, etc.

Highlights

We are immersed in different changes produced by the speed in which technology advances within society
The interest in conducting this study focuses on the use and / or implementation of different educational virtual platforms within B-learning classes; generating the integration of face-to-face classes with virtual educational tools such as, the virtual educational platforms where the ICTs are integrated with the different curricular contents
The virtual educational platforms are innovative scenarios in the teaching and learning process since they are "new" elements that the teacher must integrate in practice, generating strengthening in the student's learning

Summary

Introduction

We are immersed in different changes produced by the speed in which technology advances within society. There are continuous changes through the construction processes of different elements that we implement in our daily tasks, such as: the telephone, appliances, and books, among others (Enríquez & Enríquez, 2018). The quality of the teaching-learning process will always be linked to the transformation (Valencia, Enriquez, & Acosta, 2018). In this sense, the interest in conducting this study focuses on the use and / or implementation of different educational virtual platforms within B-learning classes; generating the integration of face-to-face classes with virtual educational tools such as, the virtual educational platforms where the ICTs are integrated with the different curricular contents. The interest in conducting this study focuses on the use and / or implementation of different educational virtual platforms within B-learning classes; generating the integration of face-to-face classes with virtual educational tools such as, the virtual educational platforms where the ICTs are integrated with the different curricular contents. Valencia, Enriquez and Agredo (2017) said that virtual education platforms have become a high-quality complement to educational processes, integrating them academically allows obtaining significant achievements and increases innovation
