Analyzing the factors involved in the development of online search, selection and use of information skills in teachers in training is fundamental, these skills contribute to their personal development, professional training and lifelong learning. The purpose of this article is to present an analysis of the academic and technological factors that influence Primary Education Degree (LEP) students to develop digital literacy and information management skills within a learning environment with blended learning technology (b-learning). It is posed that b-learning has become a necessary alternative to the classroom training processes that still prevail in the majority of teacher training institutions in Mexico. Based on the experience with a group of LEP students who attended a b-learning workshop, it is shown that under this scheme students are allowed to put their literacy and information management skills into play. The findings that resulted from this experience show that the academic factors that most influence the development of digital and informational skills are: the contents and interaction with the module coordinator in the face-to-face sessions, and the decisive technological factors: discussion forums, virtual interaction with the teachers and the resources that are integrated to the digital platform in which the course is found.
