Motivation
Virtual teaching and learning environments (EVA) allow
teachers to interact with students to carry out different
activities with a common objective, synchronously
or asynchronously. 3D Virtual Environments (EV3D),
which integrate concepts used on the Web and realworld
ideas, are used to display information in a more
attractive way, simulating physical spaces, real or not,
where users can interact with each other in time real.
Both environments, used in UNNOBA, are auspicious
scenarios for learning, where the students can explore,
meet others, socialize, participate in individual and
group activities, etc.
The objective of this work is to define strategies for
the use of avatars in the development of collaborative
activities within a 3D virtual environment.
Specific objectives:
• Inquire about the pedagogical function of avatars in
the university context.
• Define strategies for the incorporation of avatars in the
Computer Science degree programs of the Northwest
National of the Province of Buenos Aires (UNNOBA).
• Design collaborative activities to apply in the framework
of the subject Systems Analysis and Design (SAD).
• Determine the tutorial role of the virtual teacher, in
this context.
• Analyze the interests and applications of EV3D
collaborative activities in SAD.
Thesis contributions
Regarding the contribution, it is hoped to be able to
define strategies that allow incorporating pedagogical
avatars in the development of collaborative activities
for the SAD, who is part of computer science degree
programs of UNNOBA.
Future Research Lines
As future lines, it is expected to be able to carry out
experiences with the use of the environments, with the
necessaries technical adjustments, in other subjects
and/or courses of the university, with the objective of
analyzing other strategies from the academic and/or
pedagogical point of view.
