Description
La educación a distancia tradicional y virtual en Colombia ha tenido un desarrollo significativo en los últimos 10 años, gracias a las tendencias mundiales en el uso de las TIC y las políticas del gobierno nacional orientadas a la ampliación de cobertura, la incorporación de TIC en la educación y el fortalecimiento a los programas técnicos y tecnológicos en la educación superior. Este artículo presenta un análisis del desarrollo de las modalidades de educación a distancia en Colombia y una reflexión sobre el enfoque conceptual y metodológico que la Remington en sus 12 años de experiencia en educación a distancia ha desarrollado para garantizar por un lado la cobertura que hoy tiene en todo el país y por otro lado la calidad del proceso de formación en la aplicación del modelo de educación a distancia y virtual institucional en todos y cada uno de sus Centros de Atención Tutorial (CAT), desde un enfoque académico.Palabras clave: educación a distancia, educación superior, educación virtual.

The discussion takes into consideration the strategies developed by Remington to ensure its national coverage and the quality of the training process applied to the distance education and virtual institutional models in each of its Tutorial Service Centers (CAT: Centros de Atencion Tutorial) from an academic perspective.
