The Open University of Catalonia (UOC) is a pioneer university in the use of technology for online learning. The virtual teaching system enables to acquire professionalizing competences and facilitates the practitioners the update of knowledge in an optimum way. That is possible, on one hand, thanks to the resources for theoretical and practical knowledge that give technical communication tools. And, on the other hand, because of the flexibility that an asynchronous learning model entails. This allows a way of learning far away from classical teaching. [For full proceedings, see ED571430.]
