Measurement of collaboration with agile practices in a Virtual Learning Environment

Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) are collaborative workspaces for teachers and students, such as Moodle and Google Classroom. However, in many VLEs with online classes, there is a perceived lack of collaboration and student engagement. The goal of our research is to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder collaboration in Google Classroom. The methodology adopted was a survey questionnaire, with 31 questions applied to Public Higher Education Institutions in the State of Rio de Janeiro, with 39 participants. Google Classroom proved to be a good collaborative tool e complies with Agile principles. The benchmark testing performed allowed us to identify the criteria that educators should pay more attention to throughout the courses.
