The authors’ research examines the effectiveness of a web-based virtual learning environment (VLE) in the context of management studies. This article provides two main contributions. First, an exploratory study introduces and describes the concept of VLE applied to the training of seven students in an “interactivity design” (IS) course. Second, a confirmatory study conducted with 168 students in management presents a framework of VLE application in the context of management courses (MS). Results indicate that in the context of management studies, singular differences in the knowledge of VLEs exist between low/high skilled students. Even if a VLE can benefit skilled students, low skilled students must first understand and appreciate the full meaning of VLEs. A VLE leads to good training of students in IS courses. However, its existence must be communicated more intensively in the context of managerial studies. Furthermore, these students will need to be trained before achieving a sufficient level of competency to be able to manage projects using Second Life (SL).

A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an accumulation of incorporated soft-ware components, empowering the administration of web-based learning (online learning, e-learning). The quality of VLE is indispensable for the accomplishment of e-learning goals and responsible to engage students during web based learning. The attributes of existing VLES does not completely meet with the requirements of today’s e-learning. Consequently, decreases students’ interest, participation and engagement with web-based e-learning. In contrast, the learners’ engagement and participation are higher in social networking sites (SNS). For this reason, many researchers believe that the inclusion of features, similar to SNSs, in VLE may in-crease its effectivity. The goal of this research article is to investigate existing e-learning platform and make a room for SNSs and online tools for e-learning. The paper proposes an integrated model to enhance existing e-learning environment by incorporating the strength of SNSs and other potential tools with VLEs. This re-search article will provide a good direction and new thoughts for the researchers of technology supported learning-domain.

It has become an urgent problem to be solved for the education world to strengthen cultural education, transmit and develop excellent regional culture and enhance cultural quality of middle school students and the new generation. In the traditional Web-based learning environments used for transmitting regional cultures, there is not strong immersion, flexible interaction methods, interests and entertainments. In response, the basics of the cone of experience and constructivism learning theory are analyzed, a virtual learning environment about Yiwu regional culture is designed, and the system model, framework and the realization processes of key parts are stated.

Navigation Experience

Sistemas de aprendizagem a distância crescem exponencialmente, e como todas soluções a base web estes ambientes educacionais também geram grande quantidade de dados sobre seus usuários. Como registros navegacionais, por exemplo. Os dados referente a cada local acessado são armazenados no banco de dados em formato de log (registro), porém quando estratificados e apresentados em sua forma bruta não possuem qualquer viabilidade de entendimento. É neste cenário em que a visualização de dados tem sido amplamente adotada, com a utilização de objetos visuais para representação de dados abstratos ao transformá-los em informações significativas e efetivas para uma determinada análise e tomada de decisão. Assim a presente pesquisa apresenta uma proposta de visualização da trajetória de navegação de usuários em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, o Trilhas Autoatendimento Sebrae, com conteúdos de ensino à microempreendedores e empresários. O resultado desta pesquisa apresenta uma visualização e estática, referente aos dados de 3 usuários cadastrados no Trilhas Autoatendimento, sendo possível observar suas respectivas trajetórias de navegação e subtrair algumas análises quanto a sua experiência de navegação.Distance learning environments grow exponentially, and as all web based solutions, these environments generate large quantity of data about users, as for example their navigational records. However, when stratified and presented in raw form these data are very hard to be understood. In this scenario, data visualization has been adopted, using visual objects to represent abstract data . These objects transform data into meaningful and effective information so they can be used for specific analysis and decision-making. This research proposes a visual display for the user's navigation trajectory in a virtual learning environment, more specific the Trails from SEBRAE, which is offered to micro entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs. The result shows a static display, which represents the data of 3 registered users. This representation makes possible to observe their respective trajectories and to analyze their navigation experience.

<p>This article describes the rationale for pedagogical, technological and organizational choices in the design of a web-based and open virtual learning environment (VLE) promoting and sustaining self-directed language learning. Based on the last forty years of research on learner autonomy at the CRAPEL according to Holec's definition (1988), we designed a global VLE for researchers working on language learning autonomy, teachers with various degrees of practice and experience in self-directed learning, and language learners. The VLE is thus divided into three spaces for the different types of participant, each offering dedicated social networking possibilities and resources to enrich the others.</p><p>Our study focuses on the space dedicated to teacher training, the main objective being to help them build knowledge and skills for a new educational role in the paradigm of language learning autonomy (LLA). This space contains specially created Web-TV resources and audio podcasts of self-directed learning advising sessions, is based on reflective analysis and relies on a professional social network, following the principles of the “community of practice” (Wenger, 1998). In line with the principles of self-directed learning, teachers acting as trainers in the VLE mainly enact supportive and facilitative functions as advisers do in face-to-face interactions. We explore how training for advisers is organized in this online environment characterized by a high degree of openness (Jézégou, 2010). We report on findings from the way teachers within their dedicated space, using quantitative and qualitative data collected from interviews, questionnaires and analysis of logs. We look at the tensions that emerge as teachers conceive their new role and engage in new training practices given the opportunities afforded by the environment. The data provide insights to how the VLE can support training practices based on reflection, participation and collaboration.</p>
