According to their nature, the presentations were distributed as follows: (a) 46 talks (74, 20%) were related to educational experiences, (b) 11 talks (17, 74%) were suggestions or thoughts on the subject under study; and (c) 5talks (8, 06%) related to research on it. The experiences have been related to: (a) teaching at different levels of education, particularly in higher education, and (b) teaching and corporate training. The analysis showed that the result in the use of b-learning has been positive and the research on this field is a descriptive, interpretive or documentary but, has had little development.
