VIVIANE supports simultaneous use and interaction of several users who, as participants in the virtual world, are engaged in a real collective learning process together.  Optimised learning pathways permit the ‘Progressive Discovery’ of the features and problems of the world.

1. Discover the typical profile of a farmer’s agricultural production, and learn about the links between crop rotation choices and chemical residues from use of pesticides and fertilisers.
