David Moreno Canta (Virtualware)
Summary
We are currently accustomed to be trained for the acquisition of knowledge, as the ability to develop skills that are part of this training is leaved out. In many areas theoretical and practical knowledge are so important. That is why the creation of immersive environments for learning where you can simulate a particular process and experience safely is essential. In the talk we will discuss how to integrate these learning environments and their advantages.

Summary
Immersive spaces, and in particular the three-dimensional virtual worlds, are increasingly used in the learning process of students, mainly for skills development and collaborative learning. These virtual worlds make the learning process more attractive, mainly due to its rich graphical interface and sense of "game" that they give to the educational process.

Summary
3D Educational environments are virtual worlds designed to encourage interaction and communication between participants of a course, drawing on immersion in virtual worlds of students and teachers. In recent years we have developed a number of 3D learning environments which aim to simulate real-world environments (Campus, classrooms, etc..) in which teaching activities take place. In these environments, however, did not avail the benefits of virtual education in terms of management and adaptation of learning activities to the students and teachers’ behavior and evolution.

Summary
The Reception Hall is a meeting place for first contact of newly arrived students from other linguistic and cultural fields to a Catalan school. This is a temporary action (from a quarter to two academic years), which are individualized curriculum adaptations. The aim is for students to be minimally competent in the Catalan language (lingua franca) and will shortly be incorporated into the mainstream setting.

Summary
The expectations raised by virtual worlds like Second Life, the power of addiction that exercise video games, the possibility of using open source platforms to deploy these airs, has opened a channel of research in e-learning.

Summary
5 years ago and for a trade show, we develop a game that was to operate a backhoe and dig the largest amount of land as possible in a given time. It was the boom in the construction sector, which could not cope and whose workers came from all over the world, often without the necessary training for certain types of equipment.

Summary
In general, today, an essential component of any professional's work is effectively coordinate their work with the members of a team. Consequently, training must adapt to new market demands. To do this, it is desirable that our students acquire and practice a range of social skills (Soft skills) and interpersonal skills that increase the efficiency of teamwork, including: leadership skills, communication skills, negotiation skills and the ability to coordinate the work of the members of a group. However, it is difficult to realize.
