The process of designing an Online Writing Center (OWC) for high education must respond to global and regional challenges, however, knowing the context where it is going to be established is fundamental. The foregoing, because an OWC is not a distant issue to the realities of the institutions. The purpose of this article is to present the results on reading the context of two institutions that offer high education, one public and one private, that participated in the research process. For this, the case study was adopted and questionnaires of inquiry were applied to students and teachers, from the possibilities of design and operation of the CED in the high education and the conformation of a Virtual Learning Community. The results show how the information obtained was considered for the disposition of the OWC of each of the institutions. The conclusions state that reading the institutional context is important when thinking about the structuring and operation of an OWC for secondary education.
