University education is not excluded to these changes, emerging the need to adapt to the context and trends in the use of educational technologies accompanied by didactic and pedagogical strategies to achieve significant learning and strengthen the teaching-learning processes complementary to face-to-face classes. Given that technology represents procedures and techniques, which in an orderly manner represent a tool that contributes to solving situations by applying science, this article refers to educational practices developed by higher education institutions at the regional and Latin American level to take advantage of resources and tools that educational technology has available and that are commonly used by members of the educational community. In the same way, the tools and resources used by the educational community are described, complementary to the face-to-face classes, developed at the National University of Engineering, UNI North Regional Headquarters for both the teachers and the students. Reflections and possible studies related to educational quality and the use of successful experiences that contribute to the improvement of teaching-learning processes are proposed.
