Abstract
During last decades, there has been concern on organizing the information in order to make it more understandable. Many organizations are focused on providing a better classification in such a way that information will be understood by humans and allow a rapid access to resources. This article is intended to present a proposal to strengthen the uses of virtual reality based on simple knowledge representation schemes, in order to provide an environment for navigation through concepts of a given knowledge area that will enable a virtual learning environment. Finally, outcomes from this survey are presented by TAM testing in order to perform validation mechanisms for the proposal.
