Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the potential use of computers as educational tools for enriching organizations educational programs with modern learning environments. The theoretical basis of the article relies in Human Cognition, mainly taking its biological support into consideration. An investigation was performed, pointing out properties and advantages of Virtual Reality Immersion and its contribution for knowledge construction. The idea is that continuous education activities are needed and that modem technologies can support it. Finally, we establish our conclusions and suggestions for future developments in the field.
