This paper describes a virtual mobility study case, in which 37
students of the Doctorate in Education program of the César Vallejo University
of Peru and 31 students of the Master of Education of the Indoamerican
Technological Universi-ty of Ecuador participated. Two meetings, of three hours
each, were scheduled to exchange experiences about the use of active
methodologies in Education, one of particular interest was Gamification. Eight
projects that apply this methodology were presented in work sessions. The
present study results show that virtual mo-bility enriches cultural heritage,
generates motivation and students participation and allows knowledge
complement in study areas. It was an interesting experi-ence the integration of
teachers and doctoral students, firstly, teachers saw the importance of the
systematic search for information to build an Education state of the art, and
secondly because doctoral students saw educational innovation sup-ported by
technology.
