The present work had as basic objective, to analyze the isotropic ways used by students with Visuals deficiencies in the Distance Education. This analysis was relative to the conditions of accessibility in the Virtual Learning Environment, for the accomplishment of the course of Assistive Technology, offered for the Unesp of Presidente Prudente. To reach this objective, a analytical – exploratory type research was performed, by means of observation and application of questionnaires to one student, with blindness. This student was selected to participate of the fourth edition of the course, carried through in the year of 2011. The analysis of the use of the isotropic ways for the student with blindness was based on the theory of Vygotski and the concepts of the zone of proximal development and the social constructivism theory.
