The absorption of new media, elaborated from the junction of informatics, telecommunications and the Internet, are encouraging the expansion of distance learning practices in Brazil and in the world. Besides allowing geographically scattered individuals to having access to formal education, distance learning today is a way to attend to opportunities that could provide more flexibility at undergraduate courses. Demands such as the increase in elective openings in courses or application for courses offered in overlapped schedules, can only be properly taken through Virtual Learning Environments and in non-onsite activities. In this sense, this article seeks to share the experience of two distance learning courses offered in the undergraduate Design Course at UFMG, presenting the adopted approach and the Virtual Objects of Learning developed.
