Abstract: With the emergence of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) in the educational context, the teaching forms are undergoing transformations, both for distance and presential learning. The growing use of VLE and the acceptance of this technology, its behavior and its success is directly related to its adoption by teachers and students. The technology adoption has been studied in recent decades, and many analysis models have been proposed. This study is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model, that is an attempt at an assembly of constructs from other theories and models. However, this model still has not addressed gaps and not discussed issues when applied to some contexts. This article aims to propose an extension of UTAUT model for analysis of VLE adoption as support to presential learning, including new elements such as interactivity, monitoring and continuity of use.
