Forest fires are widespread in Portugal, particularly in the summer. Recently, in 2017, Portugal had two great fires. As a result, more than 120 people died, hundreds suffered injuries and registered significant economic and environmental losses. Since then, and due to the evolution and democratization of the internet and technology devices, forest fire content is much more common in cyberspace. Thus, to understand this issue, the authors propose to outline a profile of the digital platforms used in forest fire situations. The goal is to understand the uses and commitment arising from forest fires' issues in digital platforms by presenting a conceptual framework in Portugal's specific case. The authors analyzed webpages, mobile apps, Facebook pages and groups, and YouTube channels, focusing on forest fires contents. By understanding the kind of digital platform, its contents, uses, and interaction, this chapter contributes to understanding digital platforms' role in crisis and disaster scenarios such as wildfires.

Neste trabalho, descrevemos as diversas formas de dar feedback aos aprendentes, neste caso chineses, após a realização de uma tarefa escrita, assim como o processo que adotámos para tornar o trabalho de correção mais eficiente e eficaz. Assim, na parte mais teórica deste estudo, abordámos o feedback dado pelos pares (colegas de turma) e o feedback que envolve o docente, não só escrito (direto e indireto), mas também face a face. Na parte prática deste trabalho, analisámos como o método de correção e de reescrita adotado torna o processo mais reflexivo e ponderado, verificando-se não só o melhoramento dos textos, mas também a retenção de aspetos compreendidos e corrigidos, ainda que essa retenção não seja total na maioria dos casos. Palavras-chave: Tarefas escritas. Feedback. Retenção. Aprendentes chineses.

Amiais is a small Portuguese village located in the Aveiro district. It is also a virtual village available in Second Life™. The recreation of Amiais in the metaverse is a part of the LOCUS project, which intends to use digital platforms to promote and disseminate local cultural heritage. Thus, a playful narrative was developed to explore the virtual territory and share cultural aspects of Amiais. The research presented in this article tested the users' response to the narrative, their immersive learning about cultural heritage, and the convergence between virtual and real territories. Users engaged with the narrative, interacted with the characters and scenario elements, and got curious about knowing the real territory after the virtual experience. The results confirm that using a metaverse with playful narratives and interaction encourages learning cultural heritage.
