Ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem: Por autorias livres, plurais e gratuitas

We are experiencing times of great triteness, specially from the point of view of some fundamental concepts for the exercise of communicational and educational practices in our time. The concept of virtual learning environments - AVA - is one of them. The article seeks to dysmistify the concept, illustrating its potentiality from the emergence of cyberspace, showing concrete possibilities of creation and AVA management using free of charge resources from the cyberspace itself. Furthermore, I attempt to draw the attention of educators over the quality of some AVA, performing a critical analysis of a course made available free of charge in Internet, in which I signal problems and triteness of concepts and practices referring toto the education, communication and technologies interface.
