Authoring tools in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) are designed to make it easier for tutors the use of Artificial Intelligence tools.Authoring tools allow tutors to develop adaptive, learner-centered courses that promote interaction between students and virtual tutors.This article presents a review of Virtual Reality (VR) tools for the creation of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).In particular, we provide an analysis regarding how this kind of tools can be combined with authoring tools in ITS to achieve VLE that present to students realistic, interactive and immersive educational content.Finally, we discuss some challenges and opportunities in the design and implementation of authoring tools and tools of VR for the generation of VLE.
