Web-based education or e-learning has become a critical component in higher education for the last decade, replacing other distance learning methods, such as traditional computer training or correspondence learning. The number of university students who take on-line courses is continuously increasing all over the world. In Spain, nearly a 90% of the universities have an institutional e-learning platform and over 60% of the traditional on-site courses use this technology as a supplement to the traditional face-to-face classes. This new form of learning allows the disappearance of geographical barriers and enables students to schedule their own learning process, among some other advantages. On-line education is developed through specific software called e-learning platform or virtual learning environment (VLE). A considerable number of web-based tools to deliver distance courses are currently available. Open source software packages such as Moodle, Sakai, dotLRN or Dokeos are the most commonly used in the virtual campuses of Spanish universities. This paper analyzes the possibilities that virtual learning environments provide university teachers and learners and offers a technical comparison among some of the most popular e-learning learning platforms.

Una de las maneras ms efectivas para asentar conocimientos se produce cuando, adems de realizar un aprendizaje prctico, se intentan transmitir a otra persona. De hecho, los alumnos muchas veces prestan ms atencin a sus compaeros que al profesor. En la E.T.S.I. Minas de Madrid se ha llevado a cabo un programa de innovacin educativa en asignaturas relacionadas con la Geologa mediante nuevas tecnologas para mejorar el aprendizaje basado en el trabajo prctico personal del alumno, con la realizacin de vdeos en el medio fsico (campo) en los que explican los aspectos geolgicos visibles a diferentes escalas. Estos vdeos se han subido a las plataformas moodle, facebook y canal youtube donde compaeros, alumnos de otras Universidades y personas interesadas pueden consultarlos. De esta manera se pretende que, adems de adquirir conocimientos geolgicos, los alumnos adquieren el hbito de expresarse en pblico con un lenguaje tcnico. Los alumnos manifestaron su satisfaccin por esta actividad, aunque idea del rodaje de vdeos no result inicialmente muy popular. Se ha observado una mejora en las calificaciones, as como un incremento de la motivacin. De hecho, los estudiantes manifestaron haber adquirido, adems de los conceptos geolgicos, seguridad a la hora de expresarse en pblico. Palabras clave: innovacin educativa, nuevas tecnologas (TIC), Geologa Abstract- Knowledge is gained by practice, but one of the most effective ways is when one tries to transmit it to others. Likewise, students pay more attention to their classmates than to teachers. In the Geological Engineering Department of the Madrid School of Mines, we have run an educational innovation program in courses related to Geology using new technologies (ITC) in order to increase the acquisition of geological knowledge. This program is designed mainly on the basis of individual and group work with video recordings in the field in which students explain geological concepts at various scales. These videos have been uploaded to the Moodle, Facebook and YouTube channel of the Madrid School of Mines, where other students from the same university or elsewhere can view them. Students acquire geological knowledge and the ability to address the general public using technical language. The realization of these videos has been warmly welcomed by students. Notably, they show increased motivation, accompanied by an improvement in grades, although at the beginning this program was not very popular because of student insecurity. Students have expressed that they learnt geological concepts but also gained confidence in public speaking using technical language
