Um Modelo de Acompanhamento para Ambientes de Apoio a Comunidades Virtuais

Abstract

In this work we report an investigation on activity monitoring of virtual environments supporting communities. A survey on the elements of monitoring and an analysis of how they have been dealt with by scientific community, lead us to devise a model for monitoring defined on a specific environment taxonomy, which can be easily combined with a LerningObject-based architecture for recording interactions. A prototype was developed using this model and used in a set of experimental procedures for both external and internal use with an existing virtual environment.
