Abstract

This study analyzes the diffusion that the main Spanish universities carry out in their corporate web pages in relation to the e-learning programs, both semi-online and online. The objective is to know if this diffusion takes into account the communication of methodological aspects and trends that could be differentiators of an innovative offer.To this end, the most prestigious Spanish universities (public and private) have been selected, as well as those relevant in the field of e-learning. Subsequently, using the methodology "Counting methods" (Law, Qi and Buhalis, 2010), (translated into Spanish as method of itemization), the websites of each of the 689 programs offered have been analyzed. The research allows identifying the common variables used in the web promotion of all universities, and contrasts the presence of the main trends in e-learning as differentiating elements of a competitive offer.
