Participation and collaboration are slogans under which distance educational processes are usually promoted. However, the ways in which students and teachers collaborate or participate in digital educational spaces still represent broad fields of research interest. Consequently, in this qualitative study, a digital ethnographic and discourse analysis perspective is used to study the interactions that students and teachers have in virtual forums to offer approaches to some particular forms of collaboration and participation that students build to fulfill their activities. The results show some of the multiple meanings that participation and collaboration can take on in educative processes in digital environments, as well as offer elements of analysis to advance the knowledge of this educational modality in force in our times.
