CARMONA SUA¡REZ, Edgar Javier  y  RODRA­GUEZ SALINAS, Elizabeth. Good practices in virtual higher education based on specifications for e-Learning standards. sophia [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.1, pp.13-26. ISSN 1794-8932.

Free courses, full academic programs, and partially and totally virtual universities are now offered, which shows an increase in the offer and coverage in higher education. With growth, new needs emerge from questions about the quality of education, which depends on many factors; for example, the standardization of online or virtual academic spaces. This research proposed the creation of a set of technical, administrative, communicative and pedagogical specifications to improve virtual training at the University of Quindío, which serves as a reference for good practices for university teachers. In this process, significant experiences were collected and, as a final result, a proposal was built in the light of categories created by international organizations specialized in standards. This led to standardization processes, which contribute to the strengthening of the quality of education.
