| Sumario: | This report examines the effectiveness of the virtual literacy model in pedagogical competence acquisition and presents an analysis of the model’s efficacy, advantages and limitations. The model was applied throughout the 2012–13 school year to a sample made up of 2,151 students enrolled in the subject Knowledge Society Technology and Education and the 44 tutors who worked with them. Data were gathered from an online student survey and grade lists (exams and continuous assessment activities). Content analysis was used to analyse the open-ended survey questions, and descriptive analysis was applied to the quantitative data. Findings suggest that, while there is room for improvement in the assessment system, the virtual literacy model does contribute to competence acquisition. Further research is needed.
