Clemente Rodríguez-Sabiote; Ana T. Valerio-Peña; Roberto A. Batista-Almonte; Álvaro M. Úbeda-Sánchez – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2024
The global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus brought about a true revolution in the predominant teaching-learning processes (i.e., face-to-face environment) that had been implemented up to that point. In this regard, virtual teaching-learning environments (VTLEs) have gained unprecedented significance. The main objectives of our research…

We begin by summarising Prasad's (2018) work on the disconnect between the social purposes of open universities and their achievement. Next, we will revisit the concept of the iron triangle from the 1990s, which explores the three topics access, cost, and quality. How does it apply to distance education conducted with today's technologies? A…
