The research was conducted for 4 months with stu­ dents from the area of telecommunications, digital skills needs and then design and implement the web portal were observed. A salid and robust CMS was employed, as is DRUPAL, which is an open source, because its architecture is designed to work with modules from va­ rious contributors or even own modules.

In order to implement an educational web site quality, we rely on instructional design through the ADDIE model, which in its different phases, takes into account the context from analysis to implementation and evaluation of the final product, it mention that the evaluation pro­cess is not considered in the investigation due to the reduced time with which we worked.
