CONCLUSIONS
• The structure and quality of the mediating supports in virtual education, such as: written, iconic, graphic, multimedia, technological, etc. are important
• Interaction and interactivity are essential
• Interaction and interactivity can be exploited by using ICT
• The virtual environment of the Career analized has these technological possibilities
HOWEVER …
• It can be concluded that these virtual materials have not been prepared exclusively to be used in the web
BECAUSE MOST OF THEM…• Propose educational interactions based on the
use of the discourse• Introduce the information through textual codes,
developing linear sequence of the information• Not use visual support with complementary
indicators, such as: multimedia elements, images, sounds, graphic, video, etc.
