Abstract

The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) offers the students new opportunities for interaction and exchanging ideas and concepts, exploring virtual resources, fostering an active and dynamic learning, all these always supported by digital tools that allow academic improvement. This paper aims to present the experience obtained when implementing a VLE, designed according to the parameters of the PACIE methodology, as a strategy that permitted the utilization of Information and Communication Technology to increase performance in the learning process of undergraduate Engineering students at the National University of Chimborazo in Ecuador.
