The task of planning teaching activities becomes essential in teaching practice. However, most of thetime, the choice of activities is done intuitively and not based on their real influence on learning. Thus, from the perspective of distance tutors, we aim to categorize and understand the impact of evaluative activities on learning. For this, we used an explanatory case study, with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through an online questionnaire sent via e-mail to tutors from three classes of a degree course in Biological Sciences. For each activity,the degree of influence on learning was scored, with the cordel, creation and feeding of blog, seminar and theater as having the greatest impact on learning. Complementarily, the following were highlighted as positive points of the activities: creativity, synthesis, tool, production, knowledge, interaction, playfulness and material; and the negatives: the correct and adequate use of the tools, quality of the activity carried out, especially when related to the content,written text and/or final appearance of the product, following the correctness and quality guidelines and access to the internet. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to identify, in the perception of the tutors, the activities that have the best impact on student learning, as well as inferring on the main mistakes and difficulties of students in other activities, which allows for reflection and reformulation of the planning of activities offered in the courses.
