“…Tasks structure and intuitive confirmation of task outcomes can also be an important aspect, considering that Second Life can be chaotic and anarchic, as claimed by Carr et al [28]. In addition, Moschini [29] highlights the fact that users of such environments expect interactive content, rather than a mere passive learning experience, becoming active participants.…”

Abstract-As international businesses adopt social media and virtual worlds as mediums for conducting international business, so there is an increasing need for interpreters who can bridge the language barriers, and work within these new spheres. The recent rise in migration (within the EU) has also increased the need for professional interpreters in business, legal, medical and other settings. Project IVY attempts to provide bespoke 3D virtual environments that are tailor made to train interpreters to work in the new digital environments, responding to this increased demand. In this paper we present the design and development of the IVY Virtual Environment. We present past and current design strategies, our implementation progress and our future plans for further development.

“…Several researchers have described the process a researcher needs to go through when entering the online dimension. This can briefly be summarised as an immigration process where the researcher needs to acquire new skills and master a range of tools in order to create an online persona/identity, and then learn ways to interact online, understand the local etiquette, and also learn how to fit in and how to conduct research in the setting (Hine, 2008b;Moschini, 2010;Williams, 2007). Hopwood (2013b) uses the concept grotesque bodies in order to highlight the 'corporeal and material interweaving' (p. 235) of an ethnographer's body in the fieldwork practice.…”

“…Alteration of camera angles cannot be observed by others and therefore does not disrupt the ongoing activities. Observing from different angles is valuable (Moschini, 2010) since it captures activities that otherwise would not be seen.…”

I. INTRODUÇÃOAtualmente, governos, companhias, instituições de educação e utilizadores são constantemente desafiados a usufruírem das vantagens e potenciais benefícios das tecnologias digitais [1]. A instrução de crianças, jovens e adultos está naturalmente associada a este fenómeno. As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) permitiram o alargamento dos espaços e momentos de aprendizagem, os quais se associaram às múltiplas fontes e recursos de informação, conduzindo a uma rede alargada de aprendizagens. Segundo Costa, Peralta e Viseu [2] "o desenvolvimento da sociedade do conhecimento e a importância das TIC, não só no plano académico, mas também nos planos social, cultural, científico e económico, entre outros, fazem do conhecimento tecnológico um dos aspetos mais importantes na formação de um cidadão".Neste contexto, as instituições de ensino viram não só uma necessidade, mas também uma oportunidade para desenvolverem novas abordagens educativas, envolvendo professores e alunos.A utilização de Mundos Virtuais (MV) em atividades educacionais é cada vez mais frequente, em vários níveis de ensino.
