The purpose of this article was to report the experience of the Department of Restorative Dentistry (ODR) in training its faculty and expanding the use of the Moodle platform, during the period of social distance due to the pandemic of COVID-19. As soon as the face-to-face classes were suspended in March 2020, and even before the Federal University of Minas Gerais adopted the Emergency Remote Education, a questionnaire on the use of digital technologies in education was prepared by a commission determined by the Departmental Head and sent to teachers. Thus, it was noticed the need for training these professionals in the use of such technologies. ODR tutoring teachers planned virtual workshops with individual guidance, enabling the training of the functionalities of the Moodle platform. This action allowed all ODR disciplines to structure their virtual environments and made the faculty able to use the tools provided by Moodle, ensuring the quality of teaching, even remotely.
