摘要：Within the framework of the Information Society, we carried out a developmental research2 that focuses on the process of conception, implementation and evaluation of a virtual learning environment model (prototype of an Internet device) aimed at university teaching. The course that serves the modelization is Educational Technology in the context of initial teacher training. One of the purposes of the research was to understand the overall process concerning the design of the environment and validate it for further development. Another aim was to discuss a pedagogical issue that is related to questions such as: From a pedagogical perspective, what is the gain in introducing web technologies at university presential teaching? Can the flexibilization allowed by these technologies potentiate learners’ autonomy and, thus, enable the acquisition of skills that are necessary for them to learn throughout their lives? What happens when a system like this is used? In the text we present the study and emphasize the methodology adopted due to the fact that it is new in the Portuguese context. Key words: developmental research, e-learning, university pedagogy.
