The general norms in the region that imposed semi-presence systems and support centers, have been modified, and currently virtualization has been authorized and works in several countries among which we can mention Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay. In Argentina the postgraduate offer is enabled. In all countries where the virtual offer was enabled, bimodal forms of offer (distance and online) were formed. Currently, legal frameworks have been approved that authorize universities to offer 100% virtual or online programs in Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, El Salvador, Paraguay, Ecuador, Panama and Argentina, as well as Puerto Rico. In addition, a large number of institutions of higher education traditionally public in the framework of their autonomy, have been incorporating 100% virtual offers in Bolivia, beyond others in which the virtual offer is almost entirely with the sole exception of conducting exams and even these come to use skype and synchronous communication. 11
