Abstract

This article was written from the results of a research carried out with twelve college professors, six from courses of technology and six from teaching degrees in the distance learning modality of Universidade Regional do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (UNIJUÍ), trying to focus on their perceptions concerning the tools of the institution’s Virtual Learning Environment, called Conecta UNIJUI, as well as their necessities and possible changes/ improvements. The approach used was that of a mixed qualitative-quantitative case study. Results have shown that, in general, most teachers feel capable to work in the distance learning, classified Conecta UNIJUI as “good” or “very good” in its general functionalities and the most used tools are the forum, activities and the online questionnaire. The teachers agree with new capacitybuilding courses in order to improve their technical and didactic knowledge to work in the distance learning.
