| description | Distance education has achieved a great advance in recent years, thanks to the Information and Communications Technology —lCTs— tools incorporation. These communication tools can be classified as synchronous and asynchronous, the first ones are those in which their users” groups are interconnected at the same time and establish a communication processes in real time, the second ones allow interaction and communication at different moments, so the participation of the partners is not required to be at the same time.These tools use in six courses of agricultural sciences of the Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia —UNAD— was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the use of synchronous tools is low, although students prefer them (55.7 %), and think they facilitate a greater interaction with their faculty and peers. Their main limitation is the requirement to be at a specific timetable for their interaction and connection, besides that in some cases due to connectivity difficulties. |

La educación a distancia ha tenido un gran avance durante los últimos años, gracias a la incorporación de las herramientas que proporcionan las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación –TIC–. Estas herramientas pueden ser sincrónicas y asincrónicas, con las primeras, los interlocutores se conectan al mismo tiempo y establecen procesos de comunicación en tiempo real, las segundas permiten la interacción y comunicación en diferentes tiempos, por lo cual no se requiere la participación de los interlocutores al mismo tiempo. Se evaluó el uso de estas herramientas en seis cursos de las Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia –UNAD–. Los resultados permitieron evidenciar que las herramientas sincrónicas son utilizadas en menor medida, a pesar de que existe mayor preferencia hacia su uso (55.7 %) y una percepción en los estudiantes acerca de que facilitan mayor interacción con el docente y los otros compañeros. Su principal limitante se encuentra en la exigencia de un horario específico de conexión para la interacción y, en algunos casos, en las dificultades en la conectividad.
