The quality standards in the computer products that are elaborated, directed to the permanent perfectioning of educational process, is a permanent task of the José Martí University of Sancti Spíritus. The study of pedagogical models that are used internationally in distance education; the advantages offered by the Moodle platform to improve the teaching-learning process in higher education centers; the debate and the methodological proposals of the groups of subjects for the elaboration and use of the Virtual Classrooms; and the analysis of the contents of those used allowed proposing three levels (basic, medium and high) for the analysis of the quality of Virtual Classrooms in the University. These levels are established based on the elements they contain: resources and / or activities. In addition, a set of parameters is proposed to measure the quality in its preparation and the degree of use by teachers and students.
