The use of technologies in university education raises the need to explore whether there is a teacher profile which is capable of recognizing various competencies related to the development of activities, strategies, and the use of technological support, essential for academic activities. Ongoing training, access to material resources, allows professors to acquire technological competence. This context raises questions about training, resources, and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), aspects that often present difficulties and resistance in their implementation.
