As a way of overcoming a general feeling of isolation and consequent high student evasion in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), this article presents results of an experience with the i-collaboration model that promotes the collaboration between users in VLE. I-Collaboration is based on the usage of the virtual companion agents’ (VLC) as collaboration monitors. The VLC are integrated with VLE collaborative tools and know each student personality (MBTI) and behavior in the VLE. Based on these information, the VLC provides students with a distinct perception and experience of the VLE. This fosters students’ motivation to keep learning and collaborating, based on their own needs.
