This paper presents the conceptualization and use of a virtual classroom in the course EIF-200 Fundamentos de Informática, first course in the Information Systems Engineering career of the Universidad Nacional of Costa Rica. The virtual classroom is seen as a complement to the class and is conceived as a space that allows to centralize teaching resources, thereby promoting the  democratization of knowledge among students and teachers. Furthermore, this concept of virtual classroom helps to reduce the culture of individualism, present many times in university teaching practices, and contributes to create new opportunities to learn from other colleagues within a culture of reflection, analysis and respectful dialogue aimed to improve the teaching practices.

Division de Educología (School of Education for Secondary Level) of Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica, (UNA) has been aware of the necessary planning and thought of a future that demands a continuous reflection between what is possible and what is desirable. In this sense, the formation of future educators of the country in different specialties, should promote not only the use of the technology, but also the development of critical and objective thinking that will embrace its advantages and its limitations in the noble exercise of what is teaching and learning. Under the light of these precepts, in the year 2007, the educational research activity emerged by the name of Didactic Resources for Learning with a bimodal focus. The present article exposes the main ideas that have been matured after an experience of more than two years with this course, and it is also searching for recapturing a responsible way of planning, implementing and managing the policies of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) for the bimodal learning in the context of the Division de Educología (School of Education for Secondary Level) of UNA.

Recibido 07 febrero de 2011 • Aceptado 09 de marzo de 2011 • Corregido 23 de agosto de 2011   En este ensayo, a partir de una revisión bibliográfica con respecto a las áreas medulares de un modelo de educación virtual, se proponen algunas orientaciones dirigidas a aquellas personas interesadas en implementar una oferta académica virtual o bimodal, en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica. Se razona en función de siete áreas estratégicas sobre las cuales se debe sustentar un modelo de educación virtual: la filosófica; la académica; la profesoral; la estudiantil; la técnica; la legal/jurídica y, la financiera, geográfica y de dirección. Para cada área se presenta: a) un resumen de las tendencias de las mejores prácticas de educación virtual, b) recomendaciones de los expertos para realizar una gestión efectiva de carreras universitarias virtuales o bimodales, c) una breve reseña de las experiencias de la UNA en ese campo. Finalmente, se brindan, para cada área estratégica, algunas sugerencias que la UNA debiera considerar para continuar la ruta que asegure el éxito y la continuidad de sus carreras en modalidades virtuales y bimodales.
