Contemporary human, social, and pedagogical relationships have undergone major transformations driven by the appropriation of technologies, which play a crucial role in changing habits and behaviours. Faced with this reality, educational institutions face the challenge of not only having to create learning environments conducive to the acquisition of knowledge, but also scenarios suited to the development of learning skills. In this article the analysis focuses precisely on one of such scenarios and will determine its impact on the learning skills of twenty-four graduate students, based on the qualitative analysis of their perceptions and narratives having as reference the Pedagogical Model developed by Moreira (2017) for the design of e-Activities centred on the “deconstruction” of moving images. The findings show that the design of the environment, anchored on this pedagogical model and on the use of audio-visual technologies, can have very positive effects on the self-learning of postgraduate students, in the different dimensions considered: Active Learning, Initiative and Autonomy. The implications of the results are discussed, both from the point of view of practical intervention and in terms of future research.
