abstract |
3D virtual worlds are becoming widespread due to cheaper powerful computers, high-speed
broadband connections and efforts towards their tighter integration with current 2D
web environments. Besides traditional gaming and entertainment applications, some
serious propositions are starting to emerge for their use particularly in education,
where they are perceived as enablers of active learning, learning by doing, and knowledge
construction through social interaction. However, there is still little understanding
of how 3D virtual worlds can be designed and deployed effectively in the education
domain and many challenges remain. This chapter makes a contribution towards such
an understanding by reporting on three notable case studies at the authors’ own institutions,
which have pioneered the use of Second Life, a 3D virtual world, in higher education. |
