Abstract

This paper attempts to shed light on the competencies a teacher must have in order to teach in online university environments. We will relate a teacher training experience, which was designed taking into account the methodological criteria established in line with previous theoretical principles. The main objective of our analysis is to identify the achievements and difficulties of a specific formative experience, with the ultimate goal of assessing the suitability of this conceptualmethodological framework for the design of formative proposals aiming to contribute to the development of teacher competencies for virtual environments.
