Immersive Learning Environment Using 3D Virtual Worlds and Integrated Remote Experimentation

Extended Immersive Learning Environment: A Hybrid Remote/Virtual Laboratory

This paper presents a collaborative virtual learning environment, which includes technologies such as 3D virtual representations, learning and content management systems, remote experiments, and collaborative learning spaces, among others. It intends to facilitate the construction, management and sharing of knowledge among teachers and students, in a global perspective. The environment proposes...

Combining Immersive Virtual Worlds and Virtual Learning Environments into an Integrated System for Hosting and Supporting Virtual Conferences

In this paper, a proposal for hosting and supporting virtual conferences based on the use of state of the art web technologies and computer mediated education software is presented. The proposed system consists of a virtual conference venue hosted in Second Life platform, targeted at hosting synchronous conference sessions, and of a web space created with the use of the e-learning platform Mood...

Learning Experience+ within 3D Immersive Virtual Environments

experience by engaging learners in im-mersive worlds has been proved to accelerate the learning pace as well as enhance the actual learners' knowledge acquisition, construction of group meaning as well as skills and competen-cies. This is possible by 3D immersive worlds as they are representations of reality. Also, accelerating learning strategies exist in performance related targets and traini...

Understanding Physical Concepts using an Immersive Virtual Learning Environment

Understanding basic physical concepts is not an easy task. The Technology Enabled Active Learning Approach (TEAL) is an innovative learning approach and successfully improves the conceptual understanding in teaching freshmen physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This approach requires specially designed classrooms, hands-on experiments, different teaching methods and also virtua...
