%X Virtual teaching and learning spaces (VTLS) are a type of e-learning based on information and communication technology (ICT) with wide possibilities of application. The objective is to evaluate the degree of students¡¯ adherence to the virtual space (Moodle) used as a complementary pedagogical tool in the teaching of Anatomy. The Moodle system was used from March to July 2010. A standardized and regulated survey was implemented for students attending courses in Anatomy (Medicine - UBA) during July 2010 for 3 chairs. Usefulness of the pedagogical resource was assessed taking into account the number of enrolled students, time, and entry time range, frequency of access, benefit for the teaching process of discussion forums and available materials. Statistical tests were applied to results. We worked with 292 users. 128 of them correspond to the obligatory use and 164 to the optional use. 121 surveys were obtained (obligatory 69%; optional 31%). 98% of users were between 19 and 28 years old. 70% of users don¡ät work. 85% of users didn¡¯t have previous experience on e-learning. 94% of users considered it practical and easy technologically speaking. 89% of users considered that the material as a complement for the test turned out to be useful. 75% of users incorporated it as a pedagogical tool. 87% of users recommended it to their partners. 89% of users considered that the complementary material for the theoretical classes was beneficial. 76% of users considered that clinical cases were useful as integration. 78% of users believed that the imaging tests were useful. 91% of users used the material given by the associate professor. The professor-student feedback was beneficial for 70% of users, and for 32% of users among students. Anatomy doubts were responded in the forum for 50% of users, and technological doubts were responded for 67%. The benefit of using this tool as VTLS in students of Anatomy is observed. It is worth noting that for the vast majority of students, this was the first experience in e-learning.
