Um modelo de referência para ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem na Web: aproximando as perspectivas do autor e do desenvolvedor

Abstract

Many platforms Virtual Learning Environments have been developed and made available, and thereby attracted a significant amount of users and diverse. In this context, in addition to the diversity of users, expand the possibilities of technology, enabling the feasibility of different pedagogical eventually demanded by the public. Nevertheless, there are important gaps in the scenario development or customization of AVAS to meet specific requirements for a particular use, this leads to difficulties presented by the authors and, some cases, the developers themselves. So invested in this dissertation on a possible answer to alleviate some of these problems, focusing on defining a reference model that has a conceptual map designed to help educators choose the services of an AVA that meets your needs and a reference architecture that lends itself to help developers implement the demands of users. In addition, we developed a recommendation system based on knowledge that aims to bring the vision of the developer's vision educator, the educator mapping choices in what the developer needs to develop it. Therefore, we sought to provide a framework suitable to perform evaluations and comparisons between AVAs, and serves to guide and facilitate the development of new environments or customized solutions meeting the specific demands of educators. An assessment for the proposed approach was made through a case study that was used to explore the features of the three main components developed, obtaining a first satisfactory results, although very preliminary, on the work presented here.
