The purpose of this investigation was the elaboration and implementation of a virtual environment for a part time distance course for students of the Computer Science and Systems of Information. The students failed in a former discipline that approaches topics of elementary Mathematics. It happened in a particular university in the city of São Paulo. Our focus was on analyzing this environment, the tools and interactions that happened on distance mode, about the content of real function of one variable. The methodology used, design-based research, favored proposing and analyzing the activities about this topic, as well as their reorganization and, the re design of the environment. The Blackboard platform and the used tools were analyzed based on Chaves (2000) criteria, and it seemed efficient as a virtual environment for the learning in our course. However, we leaved some critical and suggestions for future works, mainly about the role of the tools for communication within part time distance courses. The analysis of the students and teacher speeches' was based on the Model of Argumentative Strategy (CASTRO et al, 2004) and allowed to raise some aspects on the understanding of Real Functions of one variable, as they were privileged in the different interactive spaces such as forum, chat, email and daily log. Aspects like the meaning production in Mathematics can be produced due to the authority of a teacher or of another student who is considered good by the classroom peers, or based on everyday language usage or on cultural characteristics. Moreover, we found that besides the students lack of prerequisite elementary mathematics, there is a lack of a culture for on-line courses
