Abstract

Currently, there are different trends in terms of education. Some of these trends require the support of information technologies. For example, since some years ago, the flipped classroom educational model has been presented, which is a strategy that reverses the traditional learning model through instructional content developed by students. Flipped classroom is directly related to blended learning, which is a methodology that combines the traditional classroom learning environment with the use of online digital material. Moreover, blended learning requires both students and teachers, who communicate in presence and virtual manners. This paper presents a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as a technological tool for the development of learning activities and language teaching with the flipped classroom model in the blended learning education program. This VLE allows highlighting the importance of monitoring and feedback to the student from the collected data. Likewise, the VLE allows highlighting the importance of the teacher as the main actor behind the operation of the software. Finally, the VLE articulates the methodological proposal allowing the virtual work and the classroom class.
