The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is extremely relevant as a development space, due to promoting “places/spaces” for other and new appropriation for pedagogical practices. Thus, mainly because of that, there is great importance in research projects, discussions and problematizations about online development processes, as well as in the VLE use. In this dissertation, mediation and the interaction are discussed from a historic and social perspective, understanding that these concepts set themselves as elements that promote learning, determining the subject’s relations and roles in on-line majors. It presents part of the results of a research and aims at investigating the mediation and the interaction processes and procedures in the on-line training courses at University Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) To answer this objective, the problem you set out to investigate is how can mediation and the interaction processes and procedures be identified in the on-line training courses of the UFMT? Qualitative approach, with participant observation methodology were used. The results indicate the need to discuss public and institutional policies, about the work of teachers and tutors and, in the case of Distance Education, about the student’s “place” in the context of digital culture and connected Society.
