The goal of this study is both to determine the opinion that professors and students at the university have of active methodologies and to describe the perception and opinion of the modes of organization, methodological focuses, and evaluation systems that define the teaching-learning process. On surveying the professors and the students in their classes, we found significant differences in 32 of the 92 variables in common. The content of these results shows that professors and students are believe they are making progress toward a learning-centered model, that implementation of active methodologies implies new functions in their teaching practice.

This article deals with the systematic review of the literature on virtual education for all. Accurately, this work responds to questions such as: What are the technological and pedagogical considerations to implement accessible e-learning proposals in inclusive higher education? What role does the Universal Design for Learning play in the development of virtual educational proposals for all in higher education? Scientific productions were analysed from 2009 to 2018. The study is based on the methodology proposed by Kitchenham (2004) and Okoli & Schabram (2010). The revised productions provide empirical and theoretical data in the field of inclusive virtual higher education. The results show that the accessibility to educational platforms and resources or educational contents has been of great interest, as well as the consideration of the Universal Design for Learning and its three principles to reach the most considerable number of online learners, with training proposals accessible to all who seek an inclusive virtual education. R E S U M E N El presente artículo aborda la revisión sistemática de literatura sobre la educación virtual para todos. Concretamente con este trabajo se da respuesta a interrogantes como: ¿cuáles son las consideraciones tecnológicas y pedagógicas para implementar propuestas e-learning accesibles en educación superior inclusiva? ¿Qué papel cumple el Diseño Universal de Aprendizaje en el desarrollo de propuestas educativas virtuales para todos en educación superior? Se analizaron producciones científicas en el período de 2009 a 2018. El estudio se apoya en la metodología propuesta por Kitchenham (2004) y Okoli & Schabram (2010). Las producciones revisadas aportan datos empíricos y teóricos en el ámbito de la educación superior virtual inclusiva. Los resultados muestran que la accesibilidad a las plataformas educativas y recursos o contenidos educativos, han sido de gran interés, así como la consideración del Diseño Universal de Aprendizaje y sus tres principios para llegar a la mayor cantidad de aprendices en línea, con propuestas formativas accesibles para todos que buscan una educación virtual inclusiva.

No abstract

This article presents the design and pilot of an open online course, based on the principle of universal design for learning (Center for Applied Special Technology, 2011), to promote inclusive virtual education as an improvement transferable to other contexts. The course constitutes the first massive open online course (MOOC) training proposal of the University of Atlántico in Colombia. In this case study, we employed the instructional design methodology of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (Branch, 2009) and the universal design for learning guidelines. The design of this online training activity enhances the quality of inclusive virtual education, improves accessibility with no need for platform adjustments, and involves participants in their learning. This educational initiative complements the academic offer for students, graduates, administrators, teachers, and external guests, and contributes to the democratisation of education. The result is the creation of a MOOC, “Inclusive Educational Contexts: Design for all”, which is accessible to a diverse range of learners.
