Abstract
The main goal of this contribution is to offer a current analysis of the research about the design of virtual environments of learning from a constructivist approach.
The great proliferation of virtual environments for learning in different levels and educational areas has contributed to an increase of research about the most appropriate instructional design. Constructivism is currently a common label for multiple approaches. Our main goal in this article is to show the multiplicity of this approach in order to maintain that the main virtue of it is to provide a complex environment that can help to improve the education necessary to live in our digital society.
