A Virtual Learning Environments as Training Tools: An Experience with NEO LMS in Physics Teaching

This research shows the design and implementation of a Virtual Learning Environment in Physics at the graduate level developed in NEO LMS. This proposal presents an alternative solution to the pedagogical mediations in virtual training spaces. The objective was to create virtual teacher-student communication Scenario either synchronously and asynchronously where interactive, and self-learning are managed through multiple resources: chat, forums, readings, videos, and simulators. As a result of using this instrument, students showed more interest in resource interaction, elements that contributed to the improvement of motivation and academic performance. Moreover, critical thinking, argumentation, and learning culture were strengthened in the students.
