AB The COVID-19 pandemic has led to face-to-face activities being developed in a virtual format that often offers a poor experiencein areas such as education. Virtual Learning Environments have improved in recent years thanks to new technologiessuch as Virtual Reality or Chatbots. However, creating Virtual Learning Environments requires advanced programmingknowledge, so this work is aimed to enable teachers to create these new environments easily. This work presents a set ofextensions for App Inventor that facilitate the authoring of mobile learning apps that use Chatbots in a Virtual Reality environment,while simultaneously monitoring of student activity. This proposal is based on integrating block-based languagesand Business Process Model and Notation diagrams. The developed extensions were successfully implemented in an educationalapp called Let’s date!. A quantitative analysis of the use of these extensions in App Inventor was also carried out,resulting in a significant reduction in the number of blocks required. The proposed contribution has demonstrated its validityin creating virtual learning environments through visual programming and modelling, reducing development complexity.
