The mixed model of Teaching-Learning aims to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to guarantee an education more in line with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The following research objectives were formulated: 1) To find out the assessment made by teacher-training college students of the virtual classroom WebCT as an aid to face-to-face teaching. 2) To know the advantages of the use of WebCT and ICT by students in the case study: «Values and counter-values transmitted by television series for children and teenagers». The research has been carried out using a sample of 205 students from the University of La Rioja who attended a course on Technologies Applied to Education. The technique of qualitative and quantitative content analysis has been used to provide an objective, systematic and quantitative description content of different documents. The results obtained show that the communication, content and assessment tools of WebCT are favourably assessed by the students. We have reached the conclusion that WebCT and ICT constitute an aid to EHEA methodological innovation based on studentcentred learning. The students demonstrated their audiovisual competence in the analysis of values and the construction of multimedia documents using different formats. Through their work these students give a new meaning to the use of television series in education.
