DELTA at NC State is looking into 3D Online User Environments such as Second Life for Distance Education Purposes - here are my notes from the session I attended.
3D environments
Activeworlds - more control, hosted, not cross-platform, 30-50 people at a time
SecondLife - v. popular, freely avail, huge community
Google SketchUp - Info System, can set-up virtual space, develop models for Google Earth
Advanced Game Engines - requires programming experience for development
PP315 - Diagnostic Game - Lab environment simulation
Challenges: Accessibility & FERPA
