Abstract

Initial teacher training courses provide for literacy in courses in educational technology and educational innovation (and ICT). The courses include 75 hours of lessons divided into modules of 5 hours, where group activities and didactic simulation are planned alongside theoretical lessons. The virtual classroom is a particular type of group that has the purpose of learning from a cognitive, social, and emotional point of view. To accomplish this, the virtual environment must be rich in resources and skills. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the effectiveness of group activities even in online lessons when it is possible to combine them with virtual simulation practices. The subjects involved in the study are 160 teachers of the initial training course (ITC) (f = 153) in whom it was possible to detect an improvement in terms of both academic achievement and teaching satisfaction with questionnaires built ad hoc to measure. To pursue this objective it is necessary to provide didactic actions of an experiential nature and oriented towards the active role of the students.
