Importance of the tools and learning environments within the e-learning platform at the universities of Ecuador

Abstract

The research evaluates the impact of the use of e-learning platforms, as an educational alternative, in the learning of the students of the Universities of Ecuador. From a quantitative approach and in a descriptive study, the use of the Documentary Bibliographic method, and the survey technique, made it possible to identify the main meanings that the students build on the implementation of this educational modality. The use of e-learning platforms was generalized in universities, however, this educational alternative does not advance positively, mainly due to the scarce pedagogical preparation, which is detrimental to an autonomous, independent and flexible formation that is a significant learning part of the student body.
