Resumen en inglés

In the realization of this monograph, virtualization in higher education is presented as an object of study, all this focusing on the Software Engineering course, of the Systems Engineering program, attached to the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Córdoba. In this document, an academic material is proposed in which clear concepts about virtualization and Software Engineering are presented in detail as a virtual course. This monograph was created taking into account the following methodology. Initially, a process of collecting information related to the research to be developed was carried out, an inquiry about the different models of virtualization, instructional design of virtual courses and virtual learning platforms currently known for their impact on the creation of educational content, this with the purpose of knowing its structure, and organization of didactic contents. Once the previous stage was finished, the Software Engineering course was carried out and designed, using the Exe Learning 2.6 tool. This course has four thematic units: INTRODUCTION TO SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES AND MODELS, SOFTWARE METRICS and finally SOFTWARE TESTING. The results achieved with the implementation of this learning tool were evidenced in the students, with the development of strategies that lead them to autonomous learning and in order to promote a more didactic learning in the topics covered in the engineering course of the Software, and the improvement of their level of competences
