Introduction: Educational technologies can assist in building skills of the students and evaluate ways to insert them is a field of current research. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic profile and digital fluency of the students, to compare the improvement of knowledge and skills of those who participated in the activities proposed in the Virtual Learning Environment, Moodle, during hospital practice, with those who did not participate; identify the opinion of students regarding the use of Moodle. Method: Study the educational intervention, with quantitative and qualitative approach, carried out in two steps. 34 students enrolled in the fourth year of undergraduate nursing course at the Federal University of São Paulo in the years 2012 and 2013 participated in this study. In the first step, an experimental one, Moodle platform, the independent variable, was associated with the activities of hospital practice in Experiment Group (EG), compared with the traditional strategy, the Control Group (CG). The dependent variable was the result of learning measured by application of an instrument, for both groups, for the pre and post-period of hospital practice, validated by five specialists. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the undergraduates and describe the dependent and independent variables. In the second stage, focus groups (FGs) were conducted with students in the EG at the end of hospital practice, with a central guiding question and others. The meetings were recorded, transcribed and content analysis of Bardin was applied. Results: The average of age of the Control Group was 23.0 yo, while on Experiment Group was 22.3 yo. The population of study was predominantly female. All reported using the computer for the study, to be users of social networks and present digital fluency. In the application of the instrument of pre-hospital practice evaluation, EG presented an average of right questions lower than the CG: 9.1 to 9.4, from a total of 15 questions. At the end, EG had more hits than the GC: 11.5 to 10.2 (n = 15). The content analysis applied to reports of FGs allowed the identification of categories: (1) Moodle favors the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and decision making , (2) the benefits of the Virtual Learning Environment were: development exercises; accommodation scientific material previously assessed by the teacher; flexibility of time and place, and for discussion, (3) Moodle has provided security and confidence for the development of hospital practice, (4) using a Virtual Learning Environment to study generates autonomy and freedom, (5) involving the use of Moodle in curricular subjects and days intended for using Moodle; (6) customizing Moodle: gradual release of activities, anticipate complexity, use of media and visualization of participants who are online. Conclusion: The insertion of Moodle brought improvement in the learning outcome of the EG, when compared to traditional teaching. In qualitative analysis, students reported that the use of Moodle provided more security and confidence for hospital care.
