Abstract

In this investigation there are described the experience developed with 24 university teachers of the University Apec, in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), by the purpose of knowing the degree of acceptance of the virtual formation as methodology, after taking part in a formative action on the above mentioned subject matter, across the model Davis's TAM (Davis, F. (1989), "Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology", MIS Quarterly 13(3), 319–340). Between the most relevant results we emphasize that the perception that they have on the facility of use and usefulness, the attitude towards the use and the relevancy of the same one in the development of his work like teachers is very positive.
