Abstract

Education is constantly adapting to the circumstances. Many future professionals have been prepared to be the means of bringing education in a more accessible and modern way to any place, any time, and especially to those people who have the desire to continue learning in a more accessible environment. Therefore, to supply the significant demand for learning and how inaccessible this can be nowadays, the University of El Salvador looked for other alternatives to facilitate pedagogy by approving an online course on the administration of virtual environments for the teaching and learning foreign languages in July 2021.

In this way, students have been able to experience a thoroughly modern method within the reach of many people.
