This paper describes a characterization of the coupling between an LMS and the academic environment in which it is inserted. This approach of mutual influence relationship between the various users of the services is built with an approximation of the LMS usage with the systemic organization of influence or development contexts proposed by Bronfenbrenner, thus exemplifying the strong engagement and reciprocity between individuals and the virtual environment and the degree to which them are dependent upon each other.
