The 1st part aims to find out the students’ perception about difficulties felt in the management of the learning process;
The 2nd part focused on the strategies used by the students in managing the learning process;

The items of the questionnaire were inferred from the analysis of the type of interaction between the teacher and student when a given tool is used in an educational context, and organized into the four categories of pedagogical strategies proposed by Laurillard (1993, 2002): Discursive, Adaptive, Interactive and Reflective.

Considering the set of strategies adopted to improve the students’ output, the following stood out from the rest: the assessments and/or suggestions supplied by the teachers (item 8), the independent management in the development of the portfolios (item 7) and the profitable use of the different digital systems to present ideas and content in a wide-ranging manner (item 6).

To overcome the difficulties, students preferred to ask the teacher about their doubts rather than to interact with their classmates, and use the different tools and technologies available online.

The conclusion was that preparatory work must be undertaken in advance to encourage the creation and use of personal online environments as a learning method in higher education, aimed at fostering competencies such as autonomy in learning, the ability to reflect and the capacity for critical analysis of the students’ own output.
