Resumen

La educación superior está experimentando un cambio radical de una enseñanza local y frontal, centrada en el profesor, hacia otra en línea y centrada en el estudiante, donde se contemplan cursos híbridos impartidos por universidades a nivel internacional. La tradicional entrega de conocimiento va siendo complementada y sustituida por modelos de educación digital. La proliferación de información en la web, la proliferación de proveedores de sistemas de instrucción, y la carga que supone para el profesorado el diseño de cursos híbridos conllevan un riesgo para la calidad del aprendizaje digital. En este estudio se examinarán las publicaciones relevantes sobre la calidad de la enseñanza y la pedagogía relativas al e-learning y a la educación a distancia. Asimismo se harán unas recomendaciones con el fin de simplificar el léxico de la educación híbrida y para utilizar taxonomías establecidas de modelos educativos digitales de modo que se pueda mejorar la formación del profesorado en el rediseño de los cursos y en el apoyo institucional para fomentar el desarrollo de una educación moderna de calidad.
