Research on Three-Dimensional Virtual Worlds
With the introduction of three-dimensional virtual environments (3DVEs) into the educational arena, students can experience situations that would be almost impossible to recreate in real life. Virtual learning environments can provide a rich, immersive experience that would give many learners access to collaborative opportunities. These environments are powerful tools to deliver different types of content, including the educational and promotional, in an interactive and contextual way. More and more schools, universities, and other informal learning settings, such as museums, are using this advantage to deliver educational content and to promote their institution policies and programs.
The research efforts of our team are aimed to analyze attitudes, perceptions, knowledge acquisition, and engagement in 3DVEs, and their usefulness in education.
