Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.69, pp.277-290. Epub Oct 25, 2023. ISSN 2358-0194. https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2023.v32.n69.p277-290.
Sign Language (SL) constitutes deaf people (DP) with specific identity and culture. SL are part of society and beyond the deaf community, hearing people have been interested in learning it. It is believed that Digital Information and Communication Technologies are mediative instruments that can optimize SL teaching and learning and promote the deaf interaction in society. One of the possibilities is the use of virtual learning environments (AVA), for this, they need to be accessible and bilingual for the DP. Thus, the present investigation carried out a systematic mapping of the literature, which aimed to identify Virtual Learning Environment focused on teaching and learning a Sign Language, in order to verify if they present the following features: being accessible and bilingual; being about Libras; being destined to DP, hearing students (HS) and SL Interpreters (SLI); dealing with linguistic variations and seeking to constitute communities of practice. Five environments were found, and the results collaborate with future research and implementations that come to strengthen and promote this language learning and its appreciation.
