Abstract

The potential generated by ICT in education raises reflect on the underlying frameworks. In this sense, the fractality is an opportunity to explain how it organizes and manages virtual education. This approach recognizes that educational dynamics are recursive and iterative processes instituted as progressive sequences, by way of fractals. This understanding allows for mediated and articulated successive levels. In each dimension own activities are embodied and in turn, it involves the recurrence of subsequent levels as possible solving of problem situations. Thus, the knowledge built in response to a collaborative action, participation in networks, ranging from autonomous to the cultural level or conversely.
