The results indicated that there is no generalized discrimination in interaction spaces, but it was observed that the Moodle platform is where most happens. 22.7% said that they had witnessed student-student discrimination and 17.1% teacher-student and 15.3% suffered discrimination because of their way of thinking. Cases of teacher-student, student-student and external institutions to students were mentioned. In this study theoretical fundament of discrimination are based, mainly, on social psychology, sociology and anthropology. Results, although obtained in a specific university, show the need for institutions, that teach on line careers, to consider possible occurrence of discrimination in their learning rooms.
