La educación a distancia (EaD), para algunos teóricos, se perfila como la educación del futuro - ¿o del presente?
El desarrollo tecnológico, la incorporación de las TIC y la apertura hacia la sociedad del conocimiento han permitido la evolución, de la que sin duda, en el siglo XXI, se constituye como una modalidad en permanente cambio y crecimiento. En este contexto, las propuestas en línea se convierten en una estrategia que puede contribuir a la democratización de la educación, a la inclusión social de comunidades tradicionalmente marginadas del desarrollo económico y social, y a la búsqueda de alternativas para los requerimientos de los nuevos espacios de formación y mercados laborales.
Las instituciones académicas deben resignificar su rol y prácticas a la luz de las demandas de la sociedad, una sociedad que en los últimos años se ha visto permeada por cambios constantes. La EaD ha sido un claro ejemplo de experimentación y de apertura a la innovación, pues su evolución se vio directamente influida por la irrupción de Internet y las ya no tan "nuevas" tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Los nuevos ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje mediados por TIC se nutren y a su vez participan de los cambios y nuevas tendencias de la actual sociedad global. En este contexto, es preciso detenerse y reflexionar acerca de la naturaleza de las propuestas educativas que se proponen en los medios. 
La plataforma Burlington English, su respectiva app para celulares y las video tutorías tienen el respaldo de profesionales en enseñanza de inglés.

My first Meme (pingback and trackback)

When did I start using Internet? I think it coincides with the economic change in Argentina ( 1 peso = 1 dollar) in the late 90's. I started using e-mailing. I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office. So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois.

I used to have dial up connection, so my experience was a bit poor. I could not spend much time on line and
