A quantitative and descriptive study was carried out and two measuring instruments were applied to different populations. This work concluded that the educational community has favorable views about the use of technology as a learning strategy. Virtual environments were identified to positively affect meeting the class objectives and improve learning conditions such as interest, attention, and student motivation.
