Abstract
Education is a social practice historically placed, and goes beyond all human activity, spreading to the network of relations that takes place in the social fabric, mediated or not by some kind of technology. Online education constitutes a new professional configuration, a possibility of the effective use of teaching and the effective construction of knowledge from another spatial-temporal logic, without losing sight of the objective conditions of social networks. The objective of this study was to assess the emerging reality of online teaching. This study used the literature review method. A content analysis method was used to analyze resources derived from previous literature. The concept of education is in a state of flux at the moment, where both old and new concepts are competing to prove their validity. A progressive educational system can only be achieved through time, research, and more intensive use of innovative practices, supported by the most recent possibilities offered by information and communication technologies.
