The population sample included 280 students from two Faculties of the Central University of Ecuador, with a sample of 280 students; A questionnaire with Likert scale questions and multiple-choice questions was used. Results: It was proven that there is a moderate positive relationship between the study modality and educational quality and its dimensions; In addition, the linear regression process was carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) to obtain the model coefficients; An analysis of the strategies and resources applied was also carried out. Discussion: The results of this research coincided with those obtained by several authors. Conclusions: The use of strategies, adequate resources and training in digital skills for teachers and students in the different study modalities allows for greater educational quality.
