EXPLORING IMMERSIVE WEB ENVIRONMENTS IN AN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The projects presented in this article were developed in two training workshops on Immersive Web Environments (IWE) in an educational context. The workshops were carried out as part of a research project for a doctoral program in Multimedia in Education, which aims to study and understand the use of IWE in a teaching-learning context. The aim of the training was to provide teachers with key competences related to the use of IWE, leading them to explore the potential of Immersive Web Environments to be able to integrate them into their teaching practices. The data collected made it possible to select teachers from different disciplines to collaborate with the researchers. The article describes two of the Immersive Web Environments created during the training workshops held with primary and secondary school teachers. For this article, only those works whose IWE co-creation process involved primary school pupils were considered. The work carried out by the teachers during the training workshops shows that IWE have the potential to transform teaching and learning practices.
