The present study aimed to build a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as contribution to an interdisciplinary perspective of the process of teaching and learning in the Technical Computing course at Campus Rio Branco - Acre. Research subjects were 41 (forty-one) students divided into two groups of the Technical Computing course and six (06) teachers, all from technical IT area. Through qualitative study, direct observation, a questionnaire and analysis of postings on AVA, the results indicated that despite the consensus of teachers in using IT, we had some difficulties in consolidating the project. These restrictions were related to the availability of teachers for collective planning of the project activities as well as for implementing a practice based on a teacher-student relationship not merely transmissive. However, after construction, teachers were more motivated and participative, from the results they could see with regard to student learning. Evaluating the results achieved by the students it is possible to visualize growth of interaction and motivation in using the VLE. This improvement illustrates a good acceptance of the students to virtual platform designed and implemented as a resource and support, contribution of interdisciplinary work. In this sense, this research demonstrated that VLE can be an important instrument to support interdisciplinary courses in Federal Institutes. A Tecnologia da Informa??o e Comunica??o (TIC) pode ser vista como uma ferramenta de apoio pedag?gico para a educa??o e, em especial, para a educa??o profissional. O presente estudo teve por objetivo a constru??o e an?lise de um Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) numa perspectiva interdisciplinar para contribui??o do processo de ensino-aprendizagem no curso T?cnico em Inform?tica no C?mpus Rio Branco ? Acre. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa 41 (quarenta e um) alunos distribu?dos em duas turmas do curso T?cnico de Inform?tica e 06 (seis) professores, todos voltados para a ?rea t?cnica de inform?tica. Mediante estudo de natureza qualitativa, com o uso de observa??o direta, aplica??o de question?rio e an?lise de postagens no AVA, os resultados apontaram que, apesar do consenso dos docentes em utilizar as TIC, tivemos algumas dificuldades na consolida??o do projeto. Essas restri??es estiveram relacionadas ? disponibilidade dos professores para o planejamento coletivo das a??es do projeto e na implementa??o de uma pr?tica embasada na rela??o professor-aluno n?o meramente transmissiva. Entretanto, ap?s a constru??o do AVA os docentes se mostraram mais motivados e participativos, a partir dos resultados que visualizaram no que diz respeito ao aprendizado dos alunos. Avaliando os resultados alcan?ados por parte dos discentes visualizamos um crescimento da intera??o e motiva??o na utiliza??o do AVA. Essa melhoria ilustra uma boa aceita??o do alunado para a plataforma virtual elaborada e implementada como um apoio a um trabalho interdisciplinar. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa demonstrou que o AVA pode ser um importante instrumento de apoio ? a??es interdisciplinares nos cursos dos Institutos Federais.
