Virtual learning environment as an emerging technology in the teaching and learning process in Mozambique

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the functionalities and potential of a virtual learning context. Therefore, a qualitative study was chosen. The technique used to collect data was the structured interview where we used six teachers from the city of Lichinga, Niassa Province in Mozambique. Studies have shown that learning inspection environments constitute important tools in the new dynamics of technology-based teaching in the learning process. Data showed that virtual teaching contexts enable students to learn independently, where they have the right to personal time management, learning planning and resources. However, taking advantage of all the enormous advantages of the VLE is a challenge for students in the Mozambican context, in addition to the scarce resources necessary for acquisition.
