چکیده
This paper reviews the features of five 3 dimensional networked virtual environments which support collaborative learning applications, through the comparison of the tools and services they offer. Following that, we justify our choice of platform, which is the Croquet platform, and discuss design and implementation issues. Finally we present the results of the evaluation process of the virtual environment we developed, which consisted of the participation of twelve postgraduate students who completed questionnaires regarding its applicability in

Collaborative Educational Virtual Environments Evaluation: The case of Croquet
E-learning systems have gone through a radical change from the initial text-based environments to more stimulating multimedia systems. In this paper we present and compare 3D multi-user virtual environments for supporting collaborative learning. After a pre-selection phase the most promising solution seems to be the Croquet platform. An educational environment has been implemented on top of thi...
متن کاملSupporting Social Awareness: Requirements for Educational CVE
Social awareness is essential for effective learning. However, natural environments do not always provide optimal support for it. We analyze the potentials of Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) in this context and provide a set of requirements for educational CVEs based on the needs of learning communities. We also present a prototype based on these requirements.

متن کاملSupporting learning communities with collaborative virtual environments:
In this paper we discuss the usage of Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) in educational settings. In particular we discuss the role that these systems can play in supporting learning communities. The focus of the paper is on the representation of space that underlies these systems. We present and compare different spatial metaphors presented in the literature and analyze how they support ...
متن کاملScaffolding: A way for supporting learners in e-learning environments
Introduction: One of the effective ways to help learners improve their learning in learning environments is scaffolding. Scaffolding can be defined as teachers, other learners and resources support of learner on tasks that can’t be done alone. Experts strongly demand scaffolding to be used to help learners on abstractive and complex issues. The aim of this study is to examine the scaffoldi...
