3D Virtual Worlds offers a range of new and exciting possibilities for educators and their students. The platform provides tools which allow users to build their own environments, create highly personalised avatars, clothes, vehicles and all sorts of amazing virtual objects. This is a completely user-generated 3D environment that comes with relatively easy-to-use building tools that anyone can learn. This makes it an ideal platform for engaging students in creating their own learning activities, experiences and environments, rather than simply being passive consumers of learning.

The unique qualities of 3D virtual worlds provide opportunities for:
• Rich sensory immersive experiences
• Authentic contexts and activities for experiential learning
• Simulation and role play
• Modelling of complex scenarios
• A platform for data visualisation
• Opportunities for collaboration and co-creation that cannot be experienced easily using other platforms.
