Resumen
In view of the difficulty in student involvement and the constant search for enveloping
technological educational resources, this study aimed at developing guidelines for the
development of immersive virtual environments. To do so, the methodological steps used
were data collection from the Theory of Engagement; Professional opinion and experiment
with students; compilation of data and elaboration of the guidelines; validation and
application. In this way, it was possible to identify 15 guidelines whose characteristics point
to the best practices to foster engagement within surrounding virtual environments (according
to the data collected). Therefore, the evaluation was performed through a virtual questionnaire
and sent to professionals in the area of Information Technology of the Federal University of
Santa Maria and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The research universe comprised
eight responses. In this way, the questionnaire was the methodological tool that guided this
evaluation, and its elaboration aimed to measure issues related to utility, adequacy and clarity.
Finally, validation resulted in an overall average score of 6.35 / 7.00. In this context, it can be
concluded that the set of guidelines represents a relevant instrument to assist designers and
developers of Immersive Virtual Environments.
