Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the online teacher-students' interactions using WhatsApp, an instant messaging tool, and to identify the students' view towards the use of that tool in a law course from a higher education institution in Colombia. Background: WhatsApp is a trending tool that is ultimately being used in academic contexts. However, little research is known on the types of interactions that occur when teachers are involved in student conversation groups. Methodology: This is a mixed-method study. Participants completed an opinion survey in order to establish students' satisfaction towards the use of WhatsApp to complement face-to-face classes, a focus group to explore in depth the students' opinions and acceptance of the WhatsApp tool for academic purposes and a chat conversation register to analyze the different types of interactions. The sample included 166 Law students. Contribution: Our contribution is to enrich the current literature on the interactions between teachers and students in a virtual environment where teachers can monitor the different academic tasks, coordinate in real time and analyze the students' interactions that impact on the students' 'learning process.
