Abstract

Immersive Serious Games are valuable and practical tools for providing the experience for learners. In these environments, we can monitor the practices and experiences towards personalized learning. This work created an immersive educational approach for teachers to receive analytical input, make decisions about the best learning paths, and provide personalized teaching. Despite being in an initial stage, it is possible to visualize the potential of allowing: (i) feedback profile of students through data analysis; (ii) amount of information of an individual or a group of individuals. The result of this work is a 3D lesson in a biology laboratory on a virtual reality platform, integrated into a platform for teaching management and recording the actions of individuals.
