The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education has widened the range of learning possibilities and provides the required technological support to create a new learning environment. This paper focuses on the description of an improved educational environment based on a system of data visualization and a geographical information system. It describes a proposal for integrating theory and practice in the learning process, improving visualization and customization of learning methods. Afterwards, an approach based on a Geographical Information System (GIS) is presented which is adapted to the requirements of a virtual learning environment.
