Abstract

Virtual education is confronting quality problems due to a lack of planning and control of key indicators such as hired faculty members and the strategies implemented in the teaching and learning process. This article aims to: first, explore the potential of good teaching practices in virtual education and second, measure the level of adoption of these good teaching practices by the participants in the short, middle and long term. A specific case study was conducted with eleven candidates of the Master Program in Higher Education from Universidad Tecnologica Oteima in the Republic of Panama and the results show that 72 96 of individuals will adopt the strategy in the long term (at least in the next two years) while an average of 5096 of the teams will adopt this strategy in the long term. Therefore, there is an intention in both segments to adopt this kind of strategy in the planning and designing of virtual courses. These results could mean a future input to the quality of this type of education. However, because it is a specific case study with a limited sample of n = 11, the conclusions will not be generalized. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the sample in other researches and collect more data.
