The aim of this paper is to inform about the curricular experience developed in the context of the b-learning system, with students of the 1^st year of the Degree in Science Education of Faculty of Psychology and Science Education, University of Porto. In the context of the challenges and the principles laid out by the Bologna Process, the article discusses possibilities and limitations of the use of discussion forums (used in the system b-learning) to develop autonomous learning processes. From the methodological point of view, we used a questionnaire of open questions that aimed to capture the reaction of the students on this pedagogical device. The content analysis followed the procedures of Bardin (1991) and was based on the ideas of Salmon (2000) about the role of the teacher. Overall, the results show that students have great and very positive opinion on the use of discussion forums believing they are an important pedagogical device to enhance its training. Recognize, also, that these forums enhance their accessibility to different materials and allow a better organization of the contents, constituting, by that, a support to their study. We conclude that the choice of this pedagogical device ends up in a set of advantages for students and teachers, between which the autonomous learning occupies a prominent position.
