Abstract
This study developed a virtual learning environment to support face-to-face teaching of the subject of Mobile Cellular Telephony of a federal institution of professional and technological education that operates in Northern Brazil. The methodology used consisted of quantitative-qualitative research, of a technological nature, developed in seven stages: 1) installation of the XAMPP and Moodle software, 2) configuration of the teaching environment, 3) allocation of the Moodle platform, 4) use of virtual resources interactive, 5) production of learning objects, 6) measurement of environmental performance indicators and 7) analysis and generation of results. The results showed that a) this was the first virtual learning experience for almost all participating students and teachers interviewed, b) teachers and students were motivated to use virtual environments in their teaching and learning activities, since c) the environment proved to be highly efficient and effective in generating effective learning and d) almost all students carried out the evaluation questions without much difficulty, as usually happens with traditional classes. The conclusion was that a discipline planned from the Moodle platform's perspective has several advantages, such as optimizing study time and the dynamics of classes.

Summary
Contemporary society has experienced significant transformations in the social, political, economic, and technological fields. According to Takeda et al (2013), these transformations drive researchers to study the new relationships and new concepts created by these new scenarios This factor has driven technological development in all social areas, generating needs that did not exist in past centuries, such as cell phones. The knowledge society envisioned by Castell (1999) is a new form of a globalized society, highly technical and with intensive use of knowledge It is a consequence of the technological innovations offered by microelectronics, information technology, and new communication technologies. Delgado (2009) states that society's knowledge enables rapid changes, tailored products and information as a bargaining chip, with market value In this context, the era of technology experienced by today's society presents several technological options daily.
