Blended Learning (B-learning) combines the use of distance learning with face-to-face teaching in the classroom. The Moodle platform is a Learning Management System (LMS), which works based on the construction of learning from interaction, and also offers tools that favor the integration of face-to-face activities with distance activities, but easy to use. The objective of this study was to evaluate and expand learning scenarios by creating a virtual environment as support teaching material, with the aim of transforming it into a tool in the education process for students. For this purpose, 13 undergraduate students were selected at the Federal University of Sergipe. At the end of the course, the volunteers were submitted to a questionnaire to evaluate the AVA specialized imaging methods - oral diagnosis (AVA-DO), regarding the support material available in the environment, as well as accessibility and usability and the gain of knowledge of the student after the experience in distance education. The evaluation of the student's learning was made through a questionnaire regarding the material taught. All questions had 80% correctness. The results also expose the student's difficulty in handling Moodle, finding obstacles in the usability and accessibility of the tool. It is concluded that the use of the virtual learning environment favored the learning process of undergraduate students, consisting of yet another learning scenario for dentistry.
