Essay It is important to recognize that traditional classroom education has been accepted as a teaching model for the acquisition of knowledge, although making a deep reflection can be noted the shortcomings that this has, taking into account the author's views, we can be inferred that there is not direct relation of knowledge to the activities carried out at work, that is to say that what is learned in the classroom does not have the solid bases to apply them into the work. On the other hand, technology-based learning can be interpreted as an alternative to the traditional model, since through this type of learning the study, it can be carried out in a more practical way since, through the computer, the student accommodates himself to his schedule and their study pace, and other advantages of technology-based learning are the time of travel and the expenses they incur when the students attend a classroom. Likewise, there are weaknesses regarding technology-based learning, as Wenger describes this model as "incapable of providing effective social transactions for students". There is not social interaction as presented in the traditional classroom where the student acquires knowledge, by means of discussions or exchange of ideas and socialization in class. On the other hand blended learning environment, it’s favorable environment where the conditions are given in the traditional classroom, since the teacher provides the essential tools where the teacher acquaints the student with the resources, tools and mechanisms provided for the acquisition of knowledge, this interaction allows students to learn socially where traditional education and the use of technology are combined to facilitate interaction between teachers and students. It is important to emphasize the importance of multimedia environments in the teaching and learning of foreign languages as it can improve learning in any field of education and provide the student with the opportunity to follow his pace without delaying the progress of others. The web has additional tools that allow the student to reinforce their knowledge, among them are: audio, images and videos that they can be selected at random and many sites to explore with audiovisual supports so that the student acquires a good understanding and facilitate access to knowledge Of foreign language. With the advancement of technology, through the internet you can have a real-time and synchronized communication, for distance education, which it makes have a continuous contact in the learning process. Therefore, taking into account the three forms of learning it is clear that each of them has strengths and weaknesses regarding the way of imparting knowledge, the important thing of all this is to recognize that people learn differently, since each one of the forms of learning has relevance when it comes to acquiring knowledge, it is subject to the response of the people needs. However, the ecology of learning can be defined as an adaptive environment where it provides tools and mechanisms that adapt to new contexts within learning, and students can receive instruction through methods and models that best fit their needs, Interests and personal environments.

On the other hand, the author defines eLearning as an "enabling technology that supports the interactions of students with the resources contained in the learning ecology” from the above, it can be inferred that through these models, the student is facilitated access to all the formative contents for its learning. it can be concluded that the advances that have been achieved through technology as a means for literacy, it has had great importance since over time, it has been able to incorporate this mechanism the area of learning, making the spaces more comfortable and each time improving the pedagogical designs, for teaching and learning in virtual spaces using technology as an essential tool.
