Background: the development of information and communication technologies plays a fundamental role in the progress of new teaching-learning systems. Objective: design a virtual environment as a didactic tool to strengthen the teaching-learning process using the Moodle platform. Methods: a development research was carried out between September and December 2017 at the General Teaching Hospital "Guillermo Domínguez López". Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, induction-deduction and modeling; and empirical: observation and survey in the form of an interview. The methodology used for software development was RUP (Rational Unified Process). Results: a tool was implemented that allows teachers to manage virtual courses as an online space to support face-to-face teaching. Its design provides ease of use and management, allows the administration of user profiles, the management of activities and resources of the courses created, and the administration of the site. Conclusions: the virtual learning environment responds to the needs of the teaching-learning process of the entity. Their functions correspond to the design model and the functional requirements have an appropriate implementation.
