“Aquatic metaphors”: an innovative interface for virtual learning spaces

Virtual learning environments are widely used in distance education as the learning space of choice, mainly for interaction and collaboration. However, they generally don't provide means to integrate easily other learning spaces. This paper presents and explains a new interface which can unite...

description	Virtual learning environments are widely used in distance education as the learning space of choice, mainly for interaction and collaboration. However, they generally don't provide means to integrate easily other learning spaces. This paper presents and explains a new interface which can unite information spaces - such as the web or online learning materials - with interactive spaces such as virtual learning environments (VLEs). Originally developed for an online course offered by a network of Brazilian universities, the interface was inspired by what we call the "aquatic metaphors" (navigation, surfing, diving and others) widely used on the internet. This interface is flexible enough to accommodate traditional teaching methods centered on instruction and written materials, as well as more open methodologies and active practices based on discussion, team work and collaboration.
