Estándares de calidad en la enseñanza virtual de postgrado

The aim of this study is to provide a panoramic view of the new offer of postgraduate, EHEA-adapted university teaching in Spain, whether of a virtual or mixed-mode nature. It also offers an overview of the degree to which such studies comply with the quality criteria and assessment benchmarks proposed by the degree program verification scheme of the National Quality and Acreditation Agency (Agencia Nacional de Calidad y Acreditacion— ANECA).2 The application of quality standards may help to detect strengths and weaknesses in this kind of university studies as well as identify the features of quality virtual educational actions. In connection with this, during the process of assessing quality, weaknesses were detected in the teaching planning in the study programs and in the application of the material and human resources proper to studies of this kind.
