We live in a world where our daily actions increasingly involve digital technologies (DT). Based on qualitative research in which students interacted with digital media in a remote learning environment focused on Euclidean Solid Geometry (ESG), we identified a teaching and learning approach, which we termed Virtual Learning (VL). This article aims to describe and reflect on the VL proposal, developed from a remote teaching experience in Euclidean Solid Geometry, highlighting its distinctive elements and potential applications in teacher training for distance learning courses. The results indicate that VL is characterized by a combination ofsynchronous and asynchronous interactions, diverse use of digital media, encouragement of collaboration and student agency, as well as flexible assessment strategies. This approach overcame limitations of Remote Teaching (RT), moving closer to a hybrid model that fosters meaningful learning and the collective construction of knowledge. We conclude that VL has the potential to be applied in online courses and disciplines, especially in initial and continuing teacher education, contributing to the improvement of Distance Education (DE) in Brazil.
