Planning model of the virtual education system for the national polytechnical institute

The current Educative System should attend key aspects such as the formation and training of the teaching body, as well as a free education for the geographically dispersed and the countryside poorest people, among others needs of the growing society in demand of education. The virtual education represents one alternative to solve the mentioned problem situation. The information and communication technologies for education are integrated with the main educative theories: behaviourism and constructivism, through the principle of the systemic complementarity, to offer education anytime, anywhere. The model which contains the main elements of the education system with a virtual environment in the National Polytechnical Institute (IPN) was designed based on the systemic paradigm, the theoretical frame work explored, and the aid of the Soft Systems Methodology by Peter Checkland. The planning model was designed as an integral system of educative theories and modern technologies of information and communication, whose purpose is to improve the performance in the teaching-learning process at the IPN.
