During 1999 it began the process of transformation into open-distance in UTPL, adding the TIC in the teaching-learning process. In order to accomplish this, a strategic alliance was made whit Globatel. A Virtual Classrooms Network was installed in a total of 20 universities, in 20 cities in Ecuador. The Global Netwok of Learning for Development joins the partnership Globatel-UTPL, in January 2001. The Global Network is sponsored by World Bank. The partnership became the older of the network with the largest range in a country. The development of the TIC makes us think about the appropiate use of such tools, specially in the education field as a basic component to achieve equity and quality in the access to knowledge. The following work is based on this perspective in which the Virtual Classrooms Network experience has been analized.
