Abstract

FERNANDEZ NARANJO, Anayda  and  RIVERO LOPEZ, Miguel. Learning platforms, an alternative to consider in learning - teaching process. RCIM [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp. 207-221. ISSN 1684-1859.

The development and incorporation of the information and communication technologies to teaching has improved the use of Virtual Learning Environments (EVA, for its Spanish acronyms) supported in e-learning platforms in the university field worldwide. They allow the management of the teaching-learning process through the web. The present work is intended to characterize the most used learning platforms, based on a bibliographical analysis of the most recent literature on the subject. Results of the analysis showed that free open-code platforms are the most used and, even though, all the analyzed platforms meet the basic requirements that justify their inclusion in the teaching process, there was certain unanimity when teachers and institutions selected the Moodle platform.

Keywords : distance learning; learning platforms; virtual learning; e-learning; Moodle platform.
