Abstract

The use of OpenSim as a platform for enhanced learning concepts incorporates a variety of desirable attributes. The platform supports mixed-initiative functions, may incorporate social networking like aspects and does so in an immersive engaging 3D environment appealing to game players. The ability to communicate with outside applications and the ability to connect virtual worlds through a Hypergrid offer exciting possibilities.
