This article is a fi rst approach to the effects and impact about the use of ICT in formative processes in educational contexts in Risaralda. It also pretends to continue with former studies from the fi rst cohort of students belonging the Master in Pedagogy and Human Development Program in the Universidad Catolica de Pereira, about the “state of the art in virtual educational processes in Risaralda”, which shows a current and general vision of education in Risaralda by revealing the resources and methodologies needed. Both studies pretend to make suggestions and recommendations from an evaluation of the impact to generate an effective virtual education in the Department of Risaralda. It is possible to visualize an elementary development from virtual education, as a result of tools and strategies absence which prevents to adopt the available technological tools in an information society. Finally, the only way to reach this process is by incorporating ICT to the Institution Educational Project (PEI), where the members of the educational community work together to form new generations in a responsible way to fortify the region.
