Learning Mangement Systems enter 3D

Back in December 2008 I flagged the possibility offered by ExitReality in providing a 3D viewing experience without reliance on the traditional 3D worlds. Now they appear to have moved to the next stage of using the free internet plugin to allow the viewing of popular Learning Mangement Systems in 3D.
"With the integration of Moodle and Blackboard to the 3D web, virtual learning and training in genuine 3D is now available within a structured 3D learning management system.“Imagine a student walking past the heritage-listed buildings of Melbourne University looking for the theatre hosting his second-year Micro Economics lecture. On walking through the doorway of his chosen building, an administrator asks him to type in his student number and name to confirm his student status,” said Mr Stefanic. "The student is immediately teleported to a large 200-seat auditorium, where other student avatars sit in attendance from all over the world. The auditorium streams live video featuring a lecturer who presents from her office in Los Angeles. The student listens to the whole seminar from his student digs in Singapore. Welcome to the world of 3D education and the 3D internet." (from Exit reality MEDIA RELEASE 20 April 2009)

While still in development, the potential for collaboration and cooperation is becoming a reality. GREG
