Plataformas E-Learning, sus riesgos y amenazas

Abstract

In any virtual education environment or E-Learning there will be the participation of students, teachers or tutors and the authorities in charge of the administration or coordination of the courses. On the other hand, for an E-Learning system to work smoothly, it requires integrity strategies to be applied, which translates into applying security policies as this is a system that works on the Internet.

Due to the above, E-Learning learning will be exposed to threats and risks by computer hackers, who will attack the different digital assets or contents of the course, with special emphasis on the violation of copyright (Delgado Peña, 2018). It is this situation that generates the objective of carrying out a documentary investigation about the treated topic.

This article reviews the threats to which an E-Learning platform is exposed and the way in which the risks that distance education can present can be mitigated, so that all actors of remote learning can be trusted, when they use virtual platforms E-Learning.
