Summary:This paper presents the outreach experience of a virtual archeology course developed within the framework of the outreach project “Arqueología inclusiva 2° etapa”, accredited in 2016 by the Universidad Nacional de Rosario. This activity was especially aimed at teachers from the southwest of Buenos Aires who work in educational institutions in elementary, basic and higher education levels and special education of the municipalities of Coronel Pringles and Puan. Other participants included people from neighboring municipalities such as Coronel Suárez, among others. The course was designed and taught by educational researchers, graduates and students of the anthropology course of studies at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata; they provided diverse perspectives based on the training tracks of each institution.The objective of this presentation is to reflect upon the use of ICT and virtual classrooms in outreach projects for teaching, discussion, and collective construction of archaeological contents. On the other hand, it aims at assessing the contribution of these mediations and devices to the increase in the dissemination and conservation of archaeological heritage assets in the southwest of Buenos Aires province.
