Abstract

The present study has the purpose of researching on the impact of Imprudence as a virtual environment on English pre-service teachers at a distance program. It took place at an Ecuadorian private university and the sample was comprised of 62 students of the English major. The results were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, which allowed us to conclude that Imprudence has a positive incidence on students’ participation; likewise, they perceived it as a useful tool for their learning.
