Objective:

To describe how the interaction of skills and knowledge to function in virtual environments generate spaces for the development of digital skills.

Methodology:

Based on the documentary review, this study is framed as a mixed type research with a concurrent design since the qualitative and quantitative data were collected simultaneously.

Results:

University professors who combine the face-to-face moments of their learning sessions and virtual environments have found new ways of teaching and learning through these environments, which propose innovative modalities of educational interaction, also helping their work as research professors.

Conclusions:

The current panorama is presented as a challenge for university education, reason why the higher education professor should not be elusive either to the use of virtual environments nor to the development of digital competences where knowledge, skills and responsible use of ICTs must be combined.
