The participants were university teachers selected by the Universidad Mayor de San Simon of Cochabamba (Bolivia) in order to enrich their own human capital and strengthen the training of the university students, through a Plan of University Teacher Training in the use of Information Technologies.
People belonging to educational institutions outside the university also participated in order to enhance the added value of the training.
