Abstract

Objective: The present article, brought information about students' emotional perception of on line technologies like using virtual classroom. Experience report: The study, adopted as investigative instrument, the collection of data through informal conversations of students regarding the use of the virtual classroom of a discipline taught in 2011 and in 2020. It was possible to perceive through their reports that: both (2011 and 2020) they had difficulties in knowing and learning about these virtual technologies and that a discomfort of the virtual classroom is the isolation of the lack of colleagues for being alone in front of a computer what generated certain stress and anxiety. This discomfort, as expected, was greater in the students of 2020 due to the compulsory use of virtual classrooms due to COVID-19. Final considerations: The face-to-face students, because they are unaware of virtual rooms, tend to refute them. Therefore, it is necessary to insert activities that seek empathy with these technologies to reduce anxiety.
