Abstract: Introduction: Virtual education has taken on a central role in higher education, allowing to overcome geographical barriers and improve access to knowledge. In Bolivia, the transition to this modality faces challenges related to technological infrastructure, teacher training, and institutional regulation. Objective: The purpose of this research is to propose a comprehensive model for virtual higher education in Bolivia, ensuring an efficient implementation that optimizes teaching and learning processes. Method: The study employs a qualitative approach based on document analysis and systematic literature review. The PRISMA method is used to select relevant research in recognized databases such as Scopus, SciELO, and Web of Science. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established to ensure the relevance of the analyzed studies. Results: The study findings indicate that virtual education promotes access and flexibility in learning, but its success depends on factors such as teacher training, technological infrastructure, and the quality of the organizational models adopted. Hybrid and fully online approaches were identified, highlighting the importance of interaction among teachers, students, and administrators. Technological tools such as LMS platforms, video conferencing, gamification, and multimedia resources were analyzed, enhancing the learning experience. Conclusion: Virtual education in Bolivia has the potential to transform higher education, but its consolidation requires clear policies, investment in technology, and continuous teacher training. A comprehensive model should include quality standards, innovative learning strategies, and effective regulation to ensure accessibility and equity in virtual education.
