Although VLE are currently in great demand, their acceptance needs to be assessed. In this research, an instrument that measures the technology acceptance of a VLE is validated by applying a confirmatory factor analysis on 15 items and five factors. Results show that the overall fit of the model was satisfactory and that all correlations between the latent factors were higher than 0.48. It was found that the assessment of technology acceptance is very important, because the VLE\u2019s success depends largely on the favorable reception of professors, researchers, and educational leaders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Technology acceptance; virtual learning environments; confirmatory factor analysis; learning technology.<\/p>\n<h4>Resumen<\/h4>\n<p>Los Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje (EVA) proveen una plataforma para lograr que la educaci\u00f3n a distancia sea m\u00e1s conveniente y accesible para los estudiantes. Aunque los EVA actualmente cuentan con gran demanda, su aceptaci\u00f3n necesita ser evaluada. En esta investigaci\u00f3n, se valid\u00f3 un instrumento que mide la aceptaci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica de un EVA. Aplicando un an\u00e1lisis factorial confirmatorio, se valid\u00f3 un instrumento compuesto por 15 \u00edtems y cinco factores. Los resultados muestran que el ajuste general del modelo fue satisfactorio y que todas las correlaciones entre los factores latentes fueron mayores de 0.48.
