The objective of the research focuses on the new forms of communication in current education arranged in virtual environments of an educational institution in the rural sector of the Marcelino Maridueña canton, academic period 2020-2021. To obtain the results, a descriptive, explanatory research typology was used with a mixed approach, of a transversal nature, of non-experimental design, supported by analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive methods that allowed the application of data collection instruments such as the survey applied to a sample of 79 students of Higher Basic Education. The results showed the presence of a virtual communication of synchronous and asynchronous type, having as tools that facilitate the communicative situation in both modalities: chat, forums, educational videos, video conferences, wikis, blogs and with a high level of Usability WhatsApp. The study concludes that the tools used have as a means the use of digital educational resources for learning and collaborative work.
