Abstract

PAIVA, Vera Menezes de O.. Ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem: implicações epistemológicas. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.03, pp.353-370. ISSN 0102-4698.

This text presents some epistemological views - objectivism, subjectivism and experientialism - aiming at understanding the concepts of knowledge and learning which underlay the construction of virtual learning environments. It also presents a description of three free learning software - AulaNet, Moodle and TeleEduc - and emphasizes that other internet tools can be added to those virtual educational environments in order to offer more learning experiences. Finally, it concludes that learning environments remove teachers from the learning stage as they can also learn with the students.

Keywords : Epistemology; Virtual Learning Environments; Collaborative Network.
