XV An Integrated Platform for Educational Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, we present the design and implementation of an integrated platform for Educational Virtual Environments. This platform aims to support an educational community, synchronous online courses in multiuser three-dimensional (3D) environments, and the creation and access of asynchronous courses through a learning content management system. In order to offer synchronous courses, we have implemented a system called EVE-II, which supports stable event sharing for multiuser 3D places, easy creation of multiuser 3D places, H.323-based voice-over IP services fully integrated in a 3D space, as well as many concurrent 3D multiuser spaces.
