Uma Experiência de Educação a Distância Realizada em Um Ambiente Virtual Tridimensional

Abstract

The increased number of distance learning courses continuously gives rise to new teaching strategies. Such strategies explore the facilities that are offered by technology. A new and little explored possibility is the use of a three-dimensional virtual environment as a tool to aid the teaching and learning processes. In this context, this paper describes an experience to identify 3D environment’s characteristics that can be explored as new contributions to distance education.
