In recent years the demand for specialized personnel in health care services has increased, this has encouraged the professionals in this area to look for alternatives of updating that adapt to the rhythms and working days according to their recruitment. The Instituto Universitario Veracruzano has started with the Master’s Degree in Health Services in the online modality. The objective was to analyze the assessments on the online collaboration of a group of 26 students of the first semester in the subject in Information Systems and Technologies. The type of study was mixed, for the quantitative part was applied an instrument called “Colab” with a reliability index of Cronbach Alpha of 0.87. For the qualitative part, we analyzed the collaborative slogans made in the discussion forums. The results obtained indicates a favorable acceptance for this type of activities. Finally, it is concluded that virtual learning environments are favorable for those subjects whose working hours prevent them from studying in the face-to-face mode. Also, the didactics applied in online learning are favorable for the development of collaboration skills.
