摘要:The adoption of virtual learning environments in education contexts has shown great potential, especially at a communication and interaction level between teachers and students. At a higher education level, and in accordance with the Bologna spirit, these virtual environments gain special importance by allowing the prolonging of learning beyond the classroom and the class period. Bearing this in mind, it was considered relevant to develop a study focused on the adoption of a virtual environment, coordinated with in classroom sessions, by a group of students from a polytechnic higher education institute. The main results achieved point out that the use of these environments are an advantage, mainly at an interaction level between teachers, students and both, as well as in matters concerning the access to content and services.
