It also considers how e-learning, m-learning, b-learning and u-learning are becoming useful systems for the fulfilment of this mission.

Statistical data are presented on virtuality in higher education programmes in Colombia, as are some examples of how it is now used in that country for the particular purpose of educational inclusion.
