RESUMO: As possibilidades oferecidas pelas ferramentas tecnológicas para a produção de texto afetam sobremaneira a concepção que temos de escrita e de autoria. Neste artigo, objetivamos discutir uma concepção dialógica de escrita e de autoria, tendo como objeto de análise uma interação virtual escrita realizada por estudantes de uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo. Essa discussão está ancorada nos pressupostos teóricos de Mikhail Bakhtin e seus interlocutores contemporâneos acerca das categorias teóricas autor e dialogismo, bem como em estudos sobre os impactos do uso de ferramentas tecnológicas na produção textual para a relação com a escrita e a autoria, sobretudo em Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem. Concluímos que a escrita no Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem ocorre em um processo dialógico entre alunos, professor(es) e textos outros, havendo convergências ou divergências quando os alunos assumem o lugar de autor que organiza vozes.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: escrita; autoria; dialogismo; ambiente virtual de aprendizagem.ABSTRACT: The possibilities offered by the technological tools for the production of text greatly affect the conception we have of writing and authorship. In this article, we aim at discussing a dialogical conception of writing and authorship, by analyzing a virtual written interaction made by students of a public university in the state of São Paulo. This discussion is anchored in the theoretical assumptions of Mikhail Bakhtin and his contemporary interlocutors about the theoretical categories of author and dialogism, as well as on studies about the impact of the use of technological tools in textual production on the relationship with writing and the authorship, especially in virtual learning environments. We conclude that writing in the Virtual Learning Environment occurs in a dialogical process between students, teacher(s) and other texts, occurring convergences or divergences when students take the place of author who organizes voices.KEYWORDS: writing; authorship; dialogism; virtual learning environment.

The article reveals the concept of individualization and differentiation of curriculum content in a real and virtual learning environment. It examines how the virtual learning environment (EDUKA class) features the ability to personalize and differentiate tasks, use digital textbooks and virtual material, provide and receive feedback, monitor progress and learning outcomes, and help to individualize and differentiate the content of elementary education at school. In order to evaluate the use of the core functions of the virtual teaching environment “EDUKA class” – working with groups, tasks and lesson material, feedback and learning outcomes and tracking progress - to differentiate and personalize the content of primary education, a quantitative survey was conducted - a written survey of respondents. It took place in 2017 from June to August, 109 Lithuanian primary school teachers were actively interviewing the virtual learning environment “EDUKA class” in the learning process. Data received by respondents in response to closed questions were analyzed by the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 17.0 program. Descriptive statistics used for quantitative survey processing. The qualitative analysis (i. e. content analysis) was used to analyze the answers to open questions in the questionnaire. The results of the research showed that in the virtual teaching environment “EDUKA class”, the teacher quickly and comfortably divides students into homogeneous groups according to their talents, progress, inclinations, interests. Based on the individual differences of pupils, the teacher creates open-ended tasks and closed-ended tests in accordance with the complexity of the group’s students. Conducts teaching materials (files, links) created and used in the educational process. Environment The “EDUKA class” facilitates teacher work by differentiating learning content, monitoring student learning outcomes and progress by providing feedback to students and their parents.

This paper examines the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in relation to its implication for academic libraries in the 21st century. It sheds light on how technological development has had major impacts in the academic library, with regards to how information is being constructed, transmitted and accessed by library users. In the course of this discourse it was deduced that students constitute a significant percentage of the academic library users. The technological development in the academic sphere has enabled ubiquitous interactions between students and teachers, in which students are enabled to learn and communicate with their teachers from remote locations, thus inducing the notion of VLE. The VLE is regarded as technological-based environment where learners are enabled to access learning outside the classroom. With the aid of VLE students are granted ownership of their learning process, thus ensuring positive learning outcomes. Finally, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was employed to serve as the theoretical basis of this discourse.

Dyslexia or reading disability is one of the most common learning disabilities. It is defined as a disorder manifested by difficulty in learning to read despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity. In this paper the authors focus on the potential benefits of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for students with dyslexia to promote the learning process, by considering the relationship between their learning style preferences and their cognitive traits in virtual learning environments. At this propose the authors investigated the relationship between dyslexic's learning style and cognitive trait within the hypothesis that dyslexic learners may have possible preferences in virtual learning environment, which may be used to improve the dyslexic user modelling. The aim of this paper is to provide an adaptive learning environment for users with dyslexia based on their learning styles preferences and their cognitive traits.

This study investigates the interplay between social presence, motivation, and knowledge sharing behaviour in the virtual learning environment. Sample for this research were 150 university students participated in online class sessions. A quantitative analysis was conducted by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS) methods. The result showed that (1) there are positive effects between social presence on intrinsic motivation and knowledge sharing behaviour, (2) there is a positive effect between intrinsic motivation and knowledge sharing behaviour, (3) intrinsic motivation partially mediated the relationship between social presence and knowledge sharing behaviour, and (4) extrinsic motivation acts as predictor moderator on the relationship between social presence, intrinsic motivation, and knowledge sharing behaviour. These results implied the importance of students’ motivation and social presence perception to foster knowledge sharing in the mediated learning environment.

The research aims to find out the problem of Learning based on Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for high school / MA students in biological materials in the COVID-19 era. This research is qualitative research with a fenomenology approach. Data collection techniques in research are observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The technique of ensuring the validity of data is triangulation. Data analysis techniques are data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of the study can be concluded that SMA Negeri 12 Kerinci students have difficulty in understanding the concepts and learning materials and teachers has difficulty in practicing and evaluating learning outcomes, SMA Negeri 4 Kerinci students lack motivation and participation in learning and teachers have difficulty in making teaching materials, and MAS Koto Rendah students often experience internet network disruptions, students are less active in learning, and students have low motivation to learn virtually and teachers have difficulty in making teaching materials and explaining materials.
