Distance learning is a teaching modality that contains specifics characteristics, a way to create a space to generate, to promote and to implement where the students can learn. In distance learning the space and time are not shared, the tasks usually are done thru different technologies. A learn technology that has been applied in distance learning is the CAPSI (Computer Aided Personalized System of Instruction), developed in Canada and based on the rules of Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), proposed by Keller in 1968. The main characteristics of the PSI are: individual time, material broken down in small units, final goals established in advance, mastery is mandatory in each unit, emphasis on written material, immediate feedback, proctors. The courses in CAPSI are divided in study units, where the student, following their own rhythmus, systematically apply for an evaluation for each unit and just move to a new unit when gets the maximum core. The system makes tests and exams available to the student, records students performances and progress, and manages aspects of the course, such as sending tests for correction. This study evaluated the experience of a distance learning course using the CAPSI system with Brazilian students. 117 students were enrolled in a course on Behavior Analysis, but only 47 started the course and were approved on Test Unit 1 (about the system functionalities). It was analyzed: desistance; performance on test units and exams; use of the Moodle s environment and an evaluation of the course by the students. Results showed a larger number of dropouts when comparing with the literature about CAPSI. The scores of the students that were exposed to a bigger number of activities were high and the main advantages and vanities related by the students are consistent with the literature. It has been discussed the relationship between the desistance and the no obligation on finish the course and the desistance and the own organization for the work
