Education has been changing due to the insertion of information technology into society's routine. Virtual learning environments have emerged as essential tools for providing and organizing materials and interaction between teachers, tutors, and students. Active methodologies aim to place students as protagonists in the knowledge development process, as well as to stimulate critical and creative thinking. Therefore, this research aims to provide a systematic literature review to identify active methodologies applied in virtual learning environments, enabling the direction of new research related to the topic and the identification of gaps in literature. A systematic literature review was used as a methodology, using searches in the Scopus database, as well as Mendeley Desktop and VOSviewer. As a result, recent research integrating active methodologies and virtual learning environments involves Game-Based Learning, Team-Based Learning, Flipped Classroom, and Project-Based Learning at the higher education level, and the most widely used platform is Moodle. The application of two methodologies that are little discussed in the literature was identified: Experiential Learning Theory and Passive, Active, Constructive, and Interactive.Social distancing was a recurring factor in motivating the application of active methodologies in virtual learning environments. As future work, it is suggested to expand the scientific article databases to be explored.Downloads
