The main objective of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of a training strategy conducted with professors at the Technical University of Manabí (TUM) in Ecuador to assess their knowledge, skills, and use of Web 2.0 technologies. The sample consisted of 374 TUM professors. Initial assessment revealed that the full potential of Web 2.0 technologies were not exploited, generally due to lack of knowledge about their use. For this reason, a training strategy was designed and applied in academic courses containing content related to blogs, microblogs, wikis, social media, video streaming, Zoom, and others. Application of the Wilcoxon statistical test allowed comparing data obtained in the survey before and after the application of the strategy. The results showed that the applied strategy successfully improved professors’ knowledge, skills, and use of Web 2.0 tools. It is concluded that the training strategy applied improved professors’ Web 2.0 capabilities.
