The study of the conceptualization of the individualization, of the pedagogical differentiation and of the Universal Design for Learning formed the nucleus around which the main ideas and reflections of the presente article revolved with the objective of outlining some key aspects of the conceptualization of the individualization , of the pedagogical differentiation and of the Universal Design for Learning (DUA). The methodology used was based on the bibliographic review of primary sources, using as methods the inferential critical reading and the analysis and synthesis. The sources were obtained as a result of the searches made in different databases and portals of scientific information available on the network. The application of theoretical-level methods, including analysis and synthesis, allowed us to verify the agreement of the different positions in relation to the importance of individualization and differentiation, whose foundations have to be assumed as an essential starting point in response to the diversity of the student body and as a reference for the application of current proposals, among which stands out the Universal Design for Learning with which it has been proven that they have a close relationship. As a result of the study, the role of the preparation and training of teachers for the creative application of the theoretical budgets presented as references for the development and application of methodological tools aimed at promoting successful learning and comprehensive training the students was underlined.

This paper examines whether an academic in the field of information technology can develop a quality online Master’s degree program in Education Research Methods outside of his area of expertise. It examines his reliance on preprogramed course development templates and relevant learning content to accomplish this complex task rapidly and efficiently. This study follows a developmental research approach that assesses the course assembly process as well as the outcome of this pedagogical intervention. It discusses the implications of using the Moodle course management system as an integral part of this course design and assembly process.

The main objective of the research was to analyze the current state of higher education in prisons, from the perspective of one of its main actors: the university professor, the method used to achieve the stated objective was the synthetic analytical supported by observation processes , bibliographic review and application of questionnaires to gather the different points of view of the teachers who have participated in these initiatives; and in this way to collect and systematize their experiences.
