Education mediated by technology: learning, innovation and prospects

With the overwhelming speed of technological advances and social events, Education in postmodernity is defined as a transcendent social fator and protagonist at a time in the history of humanity in which we struggle to achieve fundamental changes in the evolutionary processes of society from understanding and explaining a reality with different complex processes, of which, until recently, only scientists were in charge of investigating to understand its logic or rationality.We, educators, have had to find new ways of interaction so the learning process can take advantage of the vast power of computers, videos, information and communication technologies (ICTs), and teleinformatics, in order to improve the educational act.Currently, educational virtualization is not only a reality, it is also a necessity, and an alternative for the social and economic development of nations, in which online, digital, or virtual distance education, and training allow students, teachers, facilitators and administrators to attend an educational meeting, where students' autonomy is fostered through the independent search for knowledge, as well as, they develop their skills for collaborative work in virtual spaces. 1 The dynamic evolution of information technology, the telecommunications, the electronic networks, and the technologies, represent a nucleus of knowledge for debate for Ibero-American academics and researchers, as well as for the rest of the world, due to its impact in the formal and non-formal education, in the generation of new strategies for teaching-learning, in the transformation of educational models, in the contributions of emerging technologies in the educational process, among multiple possibilities for analysis.1 Edel, R.
