In Colombia, there has been an increase in the number of undergraduate programs in this form of education. However, information about the pedagogical work undertaken in those programs is scarce, and it is needed to examine their quality. This research project examined the education community’s perception of undergraduate virtual education programs in Colombian higher education institutions. One of the key elements in the analysis was the development of students’ information literacy to find out about possible ruptures, transformations, advantages, problems and solutions that emerge from this form of education. The study used a quantitative and qualitative approach to gather information from teachers, coordinators, tutors and students from 9 higher education institutions. Results show that efforts to improve students’ information literacy have been undertaken; however a greater collective effort is needed to improve the search for, evaluation and ethical use of information. Implicit here is the need for expert training and the need to reflect upon strategies to combat plagiarism. La educación virtual se constituye en una alternativa para el acceso de un mayor número de estudiantes al sistema de educación superior. En Colombia se ha incrementado el número de programas de pregrado en esta modalidad, pero la documentación sobre el trabajo pedagógico desarrollado en la implementación de estas propuestas educativas es insuficiente para examinar su calidad. Esta investigación propuso como una de sus categorías de análisis indagar las percepciones y experiencias de agentes educativos acerca del desarrollo de la alfabetización informacional en los programas que se ofrecen en esa modalidad para especificar transformaciones, avances, rupturas, entre otros aspectos. El estudio empleó técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas para la recolección de información de profesores, coordinadores, tutores y estudiantes de nueve instituciones de educación superior que contaban con programas con un alto componente virtual. Los resultados muestran que se ha dado inicio al fortalecimiento de las competencias informacionales de los estudiantes, pero que aún se requiere del trabajo colectivo entre profesores, tutores y estudiantes para refinar los criterios de búsqueda, valoración y aplicación de la información. Se evidencia también la necesidad de capacitación para expertos temáticos y la necesidad de reflexionar sobre estrategias para combatir el plagio.
