随着虚拟环境在高等教育中的应用日益广泛，需要确定不同的管理模式，以指导其以符合机构条件的方式使用，为此，在2011年至2013年期间开展了一项跨学科案例研究项目。它侧重于从组织角度分析管理问题，分析共和国大学采用Moodle所带来的体制变革。
研究方法包括收集信息的定性和定量技术：重点访谈、调查和与教师、学生、政府官员和专家的参与性工作动态，以及对文献资料的分析。
得出的结论是关于学生，教师和政府官员的看法，这些结论使人们有可能确定各种管理方面，并有助于评估Moodle作为大学VLE（虚拟学习环境）的影响。
正是通过对资料来源的分析和描述性阅读，才有可能建立以下概念类别：1）人力资源的开发; 2）管理和组织结构的变化; 3）制度政策的设计和实施; 4）技术基础设施; 5）教育的变革。
该研究项目使人们有可能了解所研究过程的优点和缺点，并建立一个有理论基础的概念视角，以及手头的主题。因此，可以对该领域和实践做出重要贡献。
通过本研究所获得的结果是一个显着的先行和理论方法的诊断，设计，规划和实施相关的机构战略，通过在高等教育中的虚拟学习环境的贡献。
The growing use of virtual environments in higher education results in the need to identify different management models that can guide their use in a manner consistent with institutional conditions.To this end, a case-study interdisciplinary research project was conducted between 2011 and 2013. It focused on the analysis of management, from an organizational perspective, of the institutional change effected by the adoption of Moodle at the Universidad de la República.
The research methodology included qualitative and quantitative techniques to collect information: focused interviews, surveys and participatory work dynamics with teachers, students, government officials and experts, as well as the analysis of documentary sources.
Conclusions were drawn regarding the perceptions of students, teachers and government officials, conclusions that make it possible to identify various management aspects and that contribute to the assessment of the impact of Moodle as a VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) at universities.
It was through the analysis and descriptive reading of the sources that it was possible to create the following conceptual categories: 1) Development of Human Resources; 2) Changes in Management and Organizational Structure; 3) Design and Implementation of Institutional Policies; 4) Technological Infrastructure; 5) Transformation of Education.
This research project makes it possible the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the process studied, and also to build a conceptual perspective that is theoretically grounded, and on the subject at hand. Thus, important contributions can be made to the field and the practice.
The results obtained through this research are a significant antecedent and theoretical-methodological contribution for the diagnosis, design, planning and implementation of institutional strategies related to the adoption of Virtual Learning Environments in higher education.
