Medical education is facing challenges to modify teaching practices and curriculum structure. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can facilitate tackling several of these challenges. In this scenario, this study aimed at identifying forms of adopting an Internet based course authoring tool in blended learning formative processes in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education at UFRJ. Based on the analyses it was possible to identify a profile of ICT usage and to discuss the results according to the following categories derived from the Virtual Learning Environments developed by professors: academic unit affiliation, disciplines and educational levels involved, field of knowledge of the blended learning courses, formation of the teaching staff team for the courses, content and communication resources used and educational activities adopted.
