Abstract

This article presents an experience that emerged in the Open University and Distance Education System at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), related to a program initiated in Ecuador to provide some degrees through distance education, thus developing the concept of e-learning among universities in Mexico which offer higher education degrees in psychology. This process started in 2006. At that time there was a growth which, among other things, led to problems in the quantity of thematic content and an absence of vertical order between subjects, which reflected the lack of skill of self-regulated learning in diverse student population. One of the efforts was aimed at improving the organization of material as well as promoting learning strategies based on cognitive
models of self-regulation. The results of this research are presented in this article.
