Monitoring students in virtual learning environments can be a time-consuming task. Professors and tutors must accompany students in an agile manner. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of discussion forums posed new challenges. This work proposes a conversational agent to automatically detect which pedagogical intervention is necessary to guide students in MOOCs environments. Through the attributes of the students' post messages, it is possible to classify which action will be carried out by the agent, applying specific dialogue patterns. In some more specific cases, the tutor's attention is immediately requested. The proposal was evaluated through a feasibility study to verify if semantic detection can contribute to guide the intervention process. According to the results, it is possible to support the tutor, as only 35.2% of interactions required the tutor's action.

Los Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje (EVA) emergen como alternativas en los Procesos de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje (PEA) permitiendo la transformación de la información evolucionando hacia nuevos aprendizajes, lo cual incide directamente en los roles de docentes, estudiantes, institución y por supuesto, en todo el contexto que lo rodea. La Universidad Estatal de Milagro (UNEMI) ha incorporado aulas virtuales como estrategia de enseñanza basada en los EVA en las distintas carreras que ofrece a través de sus cinco facultades. Ante ello los investigadores se plantean como objetivo de la investigación registrar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que se han desarrollado a través del EVA institucional de la UNEMI en los módulos de Inglés, describir las relaciones que se establecen entre los componentes de dicho proceso, y comprobar los efectos, relaciones y contextos presentes en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje a través de los EVA en los módulos de Inglés. Los resultados obtenidos consistieron en definir a través de los EVA a) los fundamentos teóricos metodológicos que permiten el perfeccionamiento de los PEA; b) diagnóstico de los PEA en los módulos de Inglés; y c) validación de una estrategia para el perfeccionamiento de los PEA a través de un EVA.Palabras Clave: procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, estrategia didáctica, entornos virtuales de aprendizajes. The Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) emerge as an alternative in the Teaching and Learning Processes (TLP) allowing the transformation of information evolving into new learning, which directly affects the roles of teachers, students, institution, and of course, the entire surrounding context. In this regard, the State University of Milagro (UNEMI) has built virtual classrooms as a teaching strategy based on Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) in the various careers offered through its five faculties. In response, researchers set as the aim of this research a) record the teaching and learning processes that have been developed through the institutional VLE in UNEMI English modules; b) describe the relationships that exist between the components of the teaching and learning processes when performed through the VLE in the English modules; c) provide knowledge about the teaching and learning processes through VLE; d) test the effects, relationships and contexts present in the teaching and learning processes through the VLE in the English modules. The obtained results consisted of defining through VLE a) methodological theoretical bases for improving the TLP; b) diagnosing the TLP in UNEMI English modules; and c) the validation of a strategy for improving the TLP through a VLE.

This article reviews literature on the use of virtual learning environments by highlighting their potential and the challenges of introducing the same in Tanzania. It introduces the concept of virtual learning environments by demonstrating their applications to support teaching and learning. The article discusses the use of virtual learning environments in teaching information literacy courses by highlighting the success of using such tools in facilitating the teaching of information literacy courses to library users. In this review, special emphasis is placed on attempts by Tanzanian institutions of higher learning to introduce web-based teaching of information literacy and the challenges faced. The review reveals the need for Tanzanian institutions of higher learning to develop virtual learning environments to facilitate the teaching of information literacy courses to students and faculty so as to reach many of those who may not manage to attend the face-to-face information literacy sessions that are offered by librarians on a regular basis.
