Virtual learning environments may constitute themselves as very interesting solutions, capable of fulfilling presential education scenarios and promoting more active student participation, in accordance to the Bologna education model. Taking this into consideration, a study was developed with the main goal of evaluating the impact of a virtual learning environment in the development of transversal and specific skills in a group of students at a higher education level. The gathered data allowed us to draw positive conclusions about the use of virtual learning environments, at an interaction level and regarding the advantages in the access to content and services.
