Environnements virtuels pour l'apprentissage

摘要

This paper describes a survey on the use and the sociotechnical configurations of Virtual Environment for Training and Education (VET/E). The characteristics of 17 VET/E were collected based on a questionnaire, interviews and data in the litterature. The questionnaire was sent between may and july 2004. Descriptive statistics of the data enable us to suggest four main patterns of current design of VET/E thanks to the pedagogical and use configuration. Each pattern favours specific alternatives in terms of the interaction devices, users' representation, users' feedback and offered guidance. The limits and perspectives of this work are finally discussed.
