A UFPUV oferece o apoio e a mediação de recursos eletrónicos para estender a atividade da universidade para além das suas limitações físicas e temporais (“em qualquer lugar, a qualquer hora, de qualquer forma”). A parte mais visível da UFPUV é a sua plataforma de ensino colaborativo. Utilizando uma ligação à Internet, um navegador e o login, qualquer utilizador pode interagir e desenvolver o seu processo de ensino/aprendizagem na Universidade Virtual da UFP. A UFPUV também é utilizada para complementar a aprendizagem em sala de aula, em integração com outros sistemas de informação da UFP. A UFPUV apoia, essencialmente, iniciativas num sistema misto (misturando a aprendizagem em sala de aula com o ensino à distância – b-learning), permitindo uma maior flexibilidade e liberdade na aprendizagem, para que cada indivíduo alcance o seu próprio ritmo.
