Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) uncovers a new learning space for students to start their learning in multidisciplinary subjects and provides an enormous storage for different types of learning materials. This brings not only the ease and flexibility to our learning, but also the challenges in organizing, managing, and controlling of information which is indispensable to the design of an effective online learning system. In particular, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is an interdisciplinary science on the process of retrieving information from music related resources. Due to the unique application characteristics and various forms of music, appropriate design and application of metadata plays an important role for the MIR in such a Content Management System (CMS) as it would affect the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the music information retrieval process. In this paper, the authors propose their ontology-based metadata scheme to address such requirements of a music VLE, based on the Dublin Core with modifications according to specific nature of the music learning materials. The metadata design of music resources aims to support students' daily music learning by providing instant and appropriate learning materials which enables cross-collection searching and enhances the sustainability of the contents over time.

For information technology in education there is always an issue of re-usage of electronic educational resources, their transferring possibility from one virtual learning environment to another. Previously, standardized sets of files were used to serve this purpose, for example, SCORM-packages. In this article the new standard Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is reviewed, which allows users from one environment to access resources from another environment. This makes it possible to integrate them into a single distributed learning environment that is created and shared. The article gives examples of the practical use of standard LTI in Moodle learning management system using External tool and LTI provider plugins.

O sistema Moodle de gerenciamento de ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem disponibiliza ferramentas, como relatórios e quadro de notas, destinadas ao acompanhamento da assiduidade e do progresso de alunos de cursos a distância. Entretanto, em geral, o emprego e as possibilidades dessas ferramentas são pouco discutidos. Foram investigadas, por meio de questionário on-line, as percepções de 88 tutores a distância atuantes em cursos de formação continuada de professores de dois estados brasileiros. Todos tinham ciência das ferramentas de relatórios e notas, mas alguns declararam não usá-las frequentemente. Os relatórios eram empregados, segundo os pesquisados, principalmente, para verificar a frequência de acesso dos cursistas ao ambiente virtual de aprendizagem e a realização das atividades propostas. A grande maioria indicou atribuir os graus de desempenho dos alunos com a ferramenta de notas e informou utilizá-la para comentar (feedback) as tarefas submetidas para avaliação e monitorar os desempenhos acadêmicos. Para alguns, a principal dificuldade no manuseio das ferramentas envolvia desconhecimento dos recursos. A atuação tutorial é indispensável para envolver os alunos nas atividades dos cursos. Paralelamente, para bem desempenhar suas funções, esses profissionais carecem de capacitação quanto às ferramentas disponíveis.Palavras-chave: Moodle, Relatórios, Notas, Tutor.  Case Study about the Use of Grade and Report Moodle Tools on the Pedagogical Practice of E learning Tutors of Brazilian Teacher-upgrading CoursesAbstractMoodle management system of virtual learning environment offers tools such as reports and grades, both used to verify attendance and progress of students in e learning courses. However, in general, employment and possibilities of these tools are little discussed. We investigated the perceptions of eighty eight tutors of teacher-upgrading e learning courses of two Brazilian states by on-line questionnaire. Tutors were aware of reports and grades tools, but some declared not using it. According to the subjects, reports were utilized to check the frequency of access of students to virtual learning environment and the realization of the proposed activities. Most of subjects affirmed use grades tool for assign scores achieved by students, give feedback of activities and check academic performance. Some respondents pointed out the little knowledge of tools as the main difficulty in handle it. The actions of tutors are essential to involve students in the activities of the courses. At the same time, to well perform their responsibilities, these professionals need of training about the available tools of virtual learning environment.Keywords: Moodle, Reports, Grades, Tutor.

The course management system (CMS) reinforces the status quo and hinders substantial teaching and learning innovation in higher education. It does so by imposing artificial time limits on learner access to course content and other learners, privileging the role of the instructor at the expense of the learner, and limiting the power of the network effect in the learning process. The open learning network (OLN)—a hybrid of the CMS and the personal learning environment (PLE)—is proposed as an alternative learning technology environment with the potential to leverage the affordances of the Web to dramatically improve learning.Keywords: course management system; higher education; open learning network; personal learning environment; technology; internet

This study examined the development of learning and innovation skills among students in the virtual learning environment provided by the smart classroom which is comprised by three technological components containing (1) virtual 3D classroom created by OpenSimulator, (2) Learning Management System (LMS) created by Moodle and (3) the add-on Moodle’s plug-in, known as INNO ED TOOLs. The new system design which make connection between the virtual 3D classroom and the LMS known as Virtual Smart Learning and Innovation System (VSLI). The VSLI was created in accordance with the principles of constructivism in order to guide and foster creative thinking among learners and enhance their skills in innovation.

A virtual learning environment is conceived as an interaction space that ease the realization of mediated activities by technology, in this case the internet; besides using multimedia materials, learning objects, social networks, among others; which have changed imminently the traditional education. In this article an instrument is proposed in a checklist format, to evaluate any platform that has interaction spaces such as a Virtual Learning Environment, in this case responding to four spaces or general indicators: information Space, Mediation / Interaction Space, Instructional Design Space and Exhibition Space. Criteria are used according to the interactions and activities carried out by the consultant and virtual student. These, in turn, come up from the analysis and interaction of the advisers achieved in the discussion forums and portfolio activities through collaborative work. It was situated as a qualitative research, with a descriptive nature since it is not limited to data collection only, but also it refers and analyzes the interaction of the advisers achieved in the discussion forums and portfolio activities through the collaborative work of the workshop course "Virtual Learning Environments" developed in a virtual learning environment.
