The main aim is finding out the use of ICTs as well as gathering information about their influence on learning processes. We also intend to discover the main differences about that use according to knowledge, gender or any previous experience with use of virtual classrooms. For developing this study, a questionnaire was provided to 1561 students (where 38.57% of them were men meanwhile the remaining 61.43% were women) with an average age of 22 years old. The scopes covered in this questionnaire were the following ones: the use of ICTs, the characteristics of the virtual classroom and finally, learning and repercussion of the virtual classrooms over students' work. This study focuses mainly on the scope about use of ICTs where data are gathered about searching information, development of communication processes (such as checking the mailbox, taking part in forums, instant messaging and use of social networks), performance of tasks (using different programs, image edition software, audio/video edition software), entertainment (downloads of music and movies), learning activities (using collaborative work spaces or access to virtual classrooms) and finally, web related activities (edition of personal websites, administration and dynamization of other sites as well as blogging).
