Omschrijving:This article discusses the use of blended learning, understood as the possibility of choosing between traditional distance education and the use of virtuality or e-learning. This is taking place at a time when the virtualization processes of the Distance State University (UNED) of Costa Rica makes more intensive use of this resource each year. This should go hand in hand with the possibilities that students have and the various facilities provided by the institution in order to provide access to equipment and connectivity for vulnerable populations as well as training in the use of ICT to bridge the digital divide and provide better job opportunities. This article also describes some benefits that blended learning can provide for academic processes. In addition, some conclusions and recommendations are offered.
