Professors of the university's branch campus in Cuenca successfully ended the course "online instructor" which was aimed at strengthening methodologies of virtual education.

The university signed an agreement with Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR), from Spain, so professors and the staff from the virtual learning environments can have training in the use of different technological platforms. 

Rafael Garcia Parajua, a specialist in online content and education from UNIR, led the course. He explained that online education is the future and that it focuses on the needs of modern students. 

The topics of the course were: learning materials, professors, guiding students, assessment and creation of materials. 

The university currently offers some online undergraduate programs in theology, anthropology and intercultural education.
