Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) allow innovative approaches to the act of reading and writing on the computer screen. This article focuses on the experience that took place in 2016, which consisted in using the virtual learning platform Moodle for a distance-learning situation (Fernández- Pampillón Cesteros, 2009), and another experience with a blended learning program -also called “flipped classroom”- (Bergman and Sams, 2012) in the "Text Comprehension and Production" Seminar, a subject at the Universidad Nacional de La Matanza which every student has to take in order to be admitted to any of the university programs. The experiential corpus, made up of surveys to students, represents a suitable spectrum to take a first step into the analysis of the influence these new technologies have on students´ insertion into the academic field, as well as the representations and requirements these students pose regarding their use.
