3D On-line Distributed Learning Environments: An Old Concept with a New Twist
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses how the concept of on-line distributed learning environments is being remade with advances in affordable computing hardware, video graphics, and Internet access. The original concept from the 1970’s of synchronous on-line computer mediated communications is changing in ways that can be a benefit to communities using distributed learning methods. The approach fits between course delivery that uses web-based with e-mail/bulletin-board feedback and more bandwidth intensive video conferencing technology. 3D on-line environments are appropriate to a large segment of students that still do not have broadband Internet because of cost and/or access. This paper discusses 3D on-line environments, explains the technology, and gives an example of a 3D on-line learning environment being used at the University of North Texas, Department of Technology and Cognition.

A Generic 3D Environment to Remotely Drill and Practice on Embedded Automated Systems
Although the use of educational intranet and e-learning environments has become familiar by providing specific educational in-network solutions, it is not the same thing for the environments of online laboratories, which require much more complex computing developments. We know that on-line laboratories offer a student the possibility to perform such tasks using a network connection. In this pa...

The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
