This article aims to present the results on the reliability of the Spanish version of the scales Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in the Mexican population. To assess acceptance of technology element in the context of online education is a crucial one as it is highlighted through a new technology that mediates the process of teaching and learning. The accoutrements obtained a coefficient of internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha test of .815, resulting in high and statistically significant. The internal consistency coefficients of the subscales were found in a range of .678 to .913.
