The Research Group on Education in Digital Culture and Training Networks (GPKosmos/CNPq), affiliated with the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), is dedicated to investigating digital technologies applied to pedagogical practices, whose relevance was widely highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators continue to seek the best ways to use digital technologies to ensure a teaching and learning process that places the student as the protagonist and facilitates interactions and mediations with teachers and peers. In this context, the objective of this thesis is to analyze how Digital Didactic Materials (DDM) mediate interactions between teachers and students in teaching and learning processes in a virtual environment. The theoretical framework focuses on the use of information science, cognition, and technology in education with the use of DDMs in digital information and communication interfaces. Methodologically, this work uses mixed research, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain a complete overview of the studied phenomenon. Real usage data from a Virtual Learning Environment are utilized, and interviews and questionnaires are conducted with teachers and students. The triangulation of this systematization allows an analysis of the use of tools, digital files, and limitations of DDMs as an educational resource using digital technology in a virtual environment. It is concluded that the use of DDM in a virtual learning environment can be beneficial for students' academic success; however, there are challenges in their utilization in order to take full advantage of digital technologies. It is essential for teachers to receive appropriate guidance and pedagogical training to use such resources in the classroom, and the platforms should be aligned with the courses and the specific systems of each institution.
