Abstract: It is important to know the perceptions of students about the virtual environments used in their learning process. The study was carried out in 2023 and aimed to find out how students perceive and experience the use of virtual environments in their academic training. The research was based on a quantitative methodology where surveys were applied to students of the professional schools of anthropology, sociology, tourism, social communication, and art of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Data were collected on various aspects, such as accessibility, interactivity, content quality, improvement proposals, and overall satisfaction with virtual educational environments. The results revealed a variety of perceptions among students regarding virtual environments. Some students highlighted the flexibility and convenience these environments offer to access educational resources and learn at their own pace. The study provided a detailed view of how students perceive and use virtual environments in their academic training process. These findings can serve as a basis to improve the implementation of virtual environments and adapt educational practices to the needs and expectations of students. The conclusions reached were that the greatest preference of students in terms of advantages for teaching in virtual education is videoconferencing interoperability platforms. Most students consider having positive experiences, and most of them show a fairly acceptable level of satisfaction with the use of virtual environments.
