Abstract: The Autonomous University of Yucatán has made use of learning management systems to support their face-to-face educational programs since 2003, and at this moment, has established a tool under the name of UADY Virtual, structured on the freely distributed software MOODLE. This study has the goal of identifying how interactions between students and professors happen in this system; for this purpose, an online survey was directed towards grade students who were signed up on it. Statistical methods were employed to analyze this information and Gibb's model was used to make a concept-based codification. It is possible to infer that UADY Virtual propitiates interactions between professors and students, who made use of it to interchange significance-charged information, however, much work needs to be done in order to motivate students to make these interactions using this medium and not external tools.
