The evolution of digital technologies and communication networks has led to the emergence of a reticular society marked by significant changes in the economy and the labor market, driving the birth of new paradigms, models, educational communication processes, and new teaching and learning scenarios. This reality, therefore, demands urgent thought to create and develop structures that respond to these changes, with digitally innovative institutions capable of transforming the educational reality. Integrating audiovisual technologies in an educational context may be a very appropriate strategy to revitalize the educational experience, and it is precisely the creation of hybrid learning scenarios enriched with the presence of the audiovisual that we intend to analyze, describing its impact on the design of a virtual community. For that, we use the qualitative analysis of the perceptions of twenty students attending Higher Education, at postgraduate level, having as reference the pedagogical models developed by Garrison, Anderson & Archer (2000) and Moreira (2017). The results reveal that the creation of these hybrid scenarios, of a digital education ecosystem enriched with audiovisual technologies, anchored in the referenced models, can have very positive effects on the creation and development of virtual learning communities.

Keywords : hybrid learning scenarios; virtual pedagogical model; virtual learning community; higher education.
