It is developed then, this research based on four categories which are: Self-regulation, Virtual Education, Competencies and Virtual Platforms. Subsequently, the methodological development approach is based on a qualitative approach and includes an analysis based on case studies and a third focus on implicit theories. After the application of the instrument, the results of the research exercise are presented by means of a codification of the categories and supported by a qualitative analysis software, a sample of three specific cases is taken that describe the perspective of the use of virtual platforms in the CEA . Finally, the conclusions of the work are proposed, where the most relevant elements of the project are expressed, their importance for education in and with technology and some recommendations for a second phase of research.
