BENITEZ-SAZA, Claudia-Rocío; SANTAMARIA-RODRIGUEZ, Juan-Esteban  y  SOTOMAYOR-TACURI, Scarlet. Flexible Education: strategy for the configuration of virtual universities in Colombia. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.31, pp.118-129.  Epub 25-Sep-2020. ISSN 2007-2872.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.20072872e.2020.31.709.

The article reviews and reflects on the incursion and implementation of flexible education (FE) in higher education in Colombia as a strategy for training professionals for working in virtual platforms. In other words, it identifies the forces that have made it possible to generate a strategy of power/knowledge, and which today make it possible to make up a flexible professional for the virtualization of work, through an archeological-genealogical investigation in which the use of archeology will make it possible to go back exactly to the point where the FE emerges as a training strategy for the virtualization of professionals. With “scrutinizing the emergence” the authors refer exclusively to when the discourse of “flexibilization” makes its appearance for the constitution of virtual universities in Colombia.

Palabras llave : flexible education; virtual universities; historical analysis; Colombia.
