Abstract

This paper shows both, the fundamentals of the blended learning and some experiences of a course jointly sponsored by the Bolivarian University of Venezuela (UBV, Spanish abbreviation) and the University of La Havana (UH). The main objective of the postgraduate course was the training of new UBV teachers in the areas of Virtual Education and Learning with Technologies. The Moodle platform was employed in order to facilitate the participant’s interaction. The study of value and the role of ICT and Virtual Education were introduced in the human development processes, so that the incidence of the digital breach in the development processes and its causes among developed countries and The Third World countries were understood. A book on Virtual Education was published as a blended-learning mode student’s book which turned to be of inestimable value because of the help provided to participants in their self-learning process.
