Bearing in mind the reflection that takes place in the educational context, concerning to the effective use teachers and students make with the intervention of ICT in the teaching and learning processes. This research project focused on the implementation of flipped learning methodology inside an e-learning context to know its possibilities and breadth. The theoretical review carried out for this research showed that the implementation of these methodology totally virtual environments has been little explored; however, some referenced studies show that in virtual environments, this methodology can offer important changes for the teaching-learning process. For this purpose, a didactic unit was designed and implemented from this methodology in a virtual course at University Minuto de Dios. Through an exploratory study, it was inquired about the perception of students and teachers after the formative experience with that implementation. The results showed encouraging aspects such as: better active participation of students; it also provides better scenarios for tutoring and feedback in double way; it improves the commitment and dedication to the class by tutors; it was perceived better motivation and students’ commitment. In the same way, it encourages the use of communication resources and the resources arranged in the classroom. These mentioned aspects, emerging from the research project, provide ideas to establish the way to get better results in the training process mediated by ICT, in this specific context and as a reference for other similar contexts.
