Likewise, the corollary of interactivity and social formalization of modeling, allows the design of learning activities, in conjunction with contemporary pedagogical approaches. Accordingly to these provisions, our paper focuses on the implementation of a collaborative lesson, taking advantage of the virtual world &quot;Second Life&quot; (SL). Thence, a case study was stipulated at the Kavala Institute of Technology, presenting the findings of an effort that 25 undergraduate students involved to investigate the value of this effort, in a computer lab. This premise frequently recapitulates, firstly our effort to articulate the initial perceptions of students-based assessments, and secondarily to demonstrate multisensory-multimodal perspectives that are being emerged from the exploitation of virtual worlds in Education.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Utilizing and evaluating the virtual world of Second Life for collaborative learning activities: A primary case study","attachmentId":66522838,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/47423038/Utilizing_and_evaluating_the_virtual_world_of_Second_Life_for_collaborative_learning_activities_A_primary_case_study","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/47423038/Utilizing_and_evaluating_the_virtual_world_of_Second_Life_for_collaborative_learning_activities_A_primary_case_study"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="60394543" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/60394543/Investigating_user_experience_in_Second_Life_for_collaborative_learning">Investigating user experience in Second Life for collaborative learning</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="32327712" href="https://manchester.academia.edu/AlistairSutcliffe">Alistair Sutcliffe</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2012</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Investigating user experience in Second Life for collaborative learning","attachmentId":73860779,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/60394543/Investigating_user_experience_in_Second_Life_for_collaborative_learning","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/60394543/Investigating_user_experience_in_Second_Life_for_collaborative_learning"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="3" data-entity-id="11701171" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/11701171/Advancing_Learning_through_Virtual_Worlds">Advancing Learning through Virtual Worlds</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="5005901" href="https://dukece.academia.edu/SteveMahaley">Steve Mahaley</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="189646" href="https://hhs.academia.edu/RobinTeigland">Robin Teigland</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Higher education institutions and corporations are increasingly exploring new pedagogical methods to align with learning styles of incoming students and employees, who are amazingly adept at using web 2.0 applications. This chapter explores the use of virtual worlds, in particular that of Second Life, in educational activities by organizations such as higher education institutions or corporations. We begin by introducing virtual worlds with a particular focus on Second Life. We then provide an overview of the benefits of this environment for learning activities before presenting a set of potential learning activities that can be conducted within Second Life. We then discuss an in-depth example of 3D teaming - one learning activity within Second Life conducted by the authors. After a discussion of implementation challenges, we then present areas for future research.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Advancing Learning through Virtual Worlds","attachmentId":37144210,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/11701171/Advancing_Learning_through_Virtual_Worlds","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/11701171/Advancing_Learning_through_Virtual_Worlds"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="4" data-entity-id="6143417" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/6143417/Development_and_evaluation_of_a_virtual_campus_on_Second_Life_The_case_of_SecondDMI">Development and evaluation of a virtual campus on Second Life: The case of SecondDMI</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="9328717" href="https://independent.academia.edu/AndreaDeLucia">Andrea De Lucia</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Computers & Education, 2009</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Development and evaluation of a virtual campus on Second Life: The case of SecondDMI","attachmentId":49001102,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/6143417/Development_and_evaluation_of_a_virtual_campus_on_Second_Life_The_case_of_SecondDMI","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/6143417/Development_and_evaluation_of_a_virtual_campus_on_Second_Life_The_case_of_SecondDMI"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="24971645" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/24971645/Evaluation_of_Collaborative_Learning_Settings_in_3D_Virtual_Worlds">Evaluation of Collaborative Learning Settings in 3D Virtual Worlds</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="32843738" href="https://tugraz.academia.edu/SKopeinik">S.

In order to provide effective formal, non-formal, and informal learning, immersive educational activities undertaken throughout life should be aimed to create a learning society in which people can experience individual and collective learning with no constrains of time or location. The concept of lifelong learning within the context of distance immersive education encompasses diverse 3D activities. The three dimensional, Web-based structured activities supported by distance learning technologies can be viewed as interactive tools which foster LLL. In this perspective, Second Life (SL) can be regarded as one of the learning simulation milieus that allow learners to participate in various educational LLL activities in individual or group forms. The following paper examines how SL, taking advantage of its simulative nature and the possibility for creative interaction among participants, which are also common in games, allows the learners to participate in immersive constructivist learning activities. The article will also touch on the current uses of SL as a tool for LLL, as well as its potentials for further development according to the current trends in adult education. Further, the authors will discuss its limitations and will make suggestions towards a more complete pedagogical use.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Volume: 12 Number: 3/2 Special Issue on Second Life Applications in Distance Education 13 LIFELONG LEARNING THROUGH SECOND LIFE: CURRENT TRENDS, POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS","attachmentId":44796754,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/24465803/Volume_12_Number_3_2_Special_Issue_on_Second_Life_Applications_in_Distance_Education_13_LIFELONG_LEARNING_THROUGH_SECOND_LIFE_CURRENT_TRENDS_POTENTIALS_AND_LIMITATIONS","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/24465803/Volume_12_Number_3_2_Special_Issue_on_Second_Life_Applications_in_Distance_Education_13_LIFELONG_LEARNING_THROUGH_SECOND_LIFE_CURRENT_TRENDS_POTENTIALS_AND_LIMITATIONS"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="69926565" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/69926565/Learning_and_Teaching_in_the_Virtual_World_of_Second_Life">Learning and Teaching in the Virtual World of Second Life</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="2668478" href="https://umu.academia.edu/MatsDeutschmann">Mats Deutschmann</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2010</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Learning and Teaching in the Virtual World of Second Life","attachmentId":79837154,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/69926565/Learning_and_Teaching_in_the_Virtual_World_of_Second_Life","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/69926565/Learning_and_Teaching_in_the_Virtual_World_of_Second_Life"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="94275004" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/94275004/Teaching_with_Virtual_Worlds_Factors_to_Consider_for_Instructional_Use_of_Second_Life">Teaching with Virtual Worlds: Factors to Consider for Instructional Use of Second Life</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="56665893" href="https://independent.academia.edu/DrFears">Dr. Fears</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Substantial evidence now supports pedagogical applications of virtual worlds; however, most research supporting virtual worlds for education has been conducted using researcher-developed Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVE). Second Life (SL) is a MUVE that has been adopted by a large number of academic institutions; however, little research has systematically investigated the potential of using SL for higher education. A 2–year pilot study was conducted that included seven SL activities and a mixed-methods evaluation of the SL&#39;s affordances, challenges, and limitations. Three SL integration factors emerged, each with sub-factors: pedagogical (relevance, complexity of required SL skills, use of SL affordances); contextual (student prior gaming experience, activity duration, frequency of events); and logistical (SL usability, training, technical support, computer issues). A framework for creating SL instructional activities is presented using the factors.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Teaching with Virtual Worlds: Factors to Consider for Instructional Use of Second Life","attachmentId":96777419,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/94275004/Teaching_with_Virtual_Worlds_Factors_to_Consider_for_Instructional_Use_of_Second_Life","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/94275004/Teaching_with_Virtual_Worlds_Factors_to_Consider_for_Instructional_Use_of_Second_Life"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="53730394" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/53730394/Teaching_in_virtual_worlds_educational_experiences_in_Second_Life">Teaching in virtual worlds: educational experiences in Second Life</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="640801" href="https://unisa-it.academia.edu/FFaiella">Filomena Faiella</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2009</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Teaching in virtual worlds: educational experiences in Second Life","attachmentId":70436304,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/53730394/Teaching_in_virtual_worlds_educational_experiences_in_Second_Life","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/53730394/Teaching_in_virtual_worlds_educational_experiences_in_Second_Life"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":108489631,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":108489631,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_108489631" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
