In this paper we present the concept of a computer tool to follow interactions taking place in a virtual learning environment for the undergraduate courses in the distance learning program offered by UAB/UECE. The study and research scenario comprehends distance learning undergraduate courses that have been created within the framework of a UAB/UECE partnership. Under this scenario, Moodle is the Virtual Learning Environment. A quantitative exploratory research was the methodology used. The data was collected by accessing the courses’ database and by using a Survey method which consisted of questionnaires to be completed by students and course coordinators. After contextualizing the problem and defining the methodology, several questionnaires were administered to the coordinators and students. The results showed that more than 50% of them were satisfied with the virtual environment, but both sides have pointed out some problems when it came to the time needed by teachers and tutors to interact in the virtual environment as well as some feedback delays for activities developed in said virtual environment. The queries made to the Moodle database have confirmed the results obtained in the questionnaire. In the end, we could map the resources and activities used in the courses. We also confirmed that neither tutors nor teachers react in time. We could design a computer tool concept called Moodle Monitor which is to be used by the course coordinators. This makes it possible to support the management of VLE Moodle by sending out messages, queries and reports generated by the system. The proposed tool has been specified using software engineering techniques and methods. Key words: Virtual Learning Environment Distance Undergraduate Courses Interaction in VLE. Moodle Monitor.
