Evasion is one of these problems and deserves special attention, which justifies the need for studies, research and critical reflections upon nuances that underlie, permeate and constitute approaches that can contribute to understanding and fighting this phenomenon. In distance learning, this phenomenon is even more prevalent, as evasion can be influenced by the use of educational platforms, according to more recent studies. The resources of educational technologies that distance learning uses allow the construction of knowledge to take place in different spaces, with teachers and students developing activities in different places or times. This study, based on a current theoretical framework, analysed the educational resources available in Virtual Learning Environments and their impact on evasion in distance learning Higher Education courses. Based on a qualitative approach, the case study was conducted using data from a Brazilian public university that identified the most used educational technology resources and related them to dropout rates. The results obtained suggest that the diversity of resources can impact those rates. The data analysis comprised eight courses, five academic semesters, 257 virtual classrooms, 19 educational resources and 1.023 students. Thus, the use of indicators in the creation of distance learning undergraduate courses is recommended to reduce dropout rates.  aDistance education  aDropouts  aEducational resources  aHigher education  aPublic schools  aEducação  aEducação a distância1 aLEITE, L.
