BIDARRA, José  and  MARTINS, Olímpio. O Geódromo e o Climatógrafo: ambientes virtuais multimédia no ensino das ciências. Educ. Form. Tecnol. [online]. 2008, vol.01, n.01, pp.137-141. ISSN 1646-933X.

This article examines two cases of multimedia environments developed within the Portuguese Programme Ciência Viva, both showing innovative characteristics as educational devices oriented to diversified target audiences. The project designated by Carsoscópio is analyzed with emphasis on the two multimedia components that are designated by Geódromo and Climatógrafo, however it is not limited to the analysis of the scientific factors and inherent technical development of the two referred cases, it also investigates other aspects for the success of this project, namely, the use of imagination as a major success factor and the establishment of a strong relationship between the technology and the pedagogy necessarily associated with the themes (Geology, Climate, Biology).

Keywords : Ciência Viva; Educational Multimedia; Virtual Environments.
