Abstract

The Virtual First project was born from the realization that something had to be done to facilitate the adaptation of organizations and people to this new reality. One of the premises was that the adaptation process should be supported by a computer platform that would allow the development, in the virtual space, of activities normally performed in a physical environment. This prototype was later used and improved, for the development of an innovative platform, preferably oriented towards teaching and professional training and that allows the automation of a large part of the teaching process. The platform adapts to any teaching methodology, from the most traditional to the most modern trends, even supporting a new methodology that we call Inbound Learning, only possible with this type of solution. In the implementation phase, the authors used the Agile methodology, in a model called Crivosoft Agile Framework. This model for developing IT solutions only differs from other existing models by involving the business analyst in manually loading tables with real data.
