AI 117: v-learning takes e-learning into the virtual world as it drives new innovation for skills and education


ISN Virtual Worlds has launched a v-learning solution that links traditional 2d web e-learning and the Second Life Grid.

This new extended service covers

• course management tools

• tracking systems

• collaboration and media sharing tools

3d enables more

• collaboration

• customized environments

• simulation

"We're targeting mainly large companies who have large HR departments, for instance, who often need to train their employees," explained CEO Mattia Crespi. "Another good application of it is for big companies with large salesforces spread out over the territory. It would be useful to use the V-Learning tool for training. You can re-create products and also simulate processes and services. With the platform to do learning, you can make good use of it. You really need to give practical solutions to companies. If you go to them with the precise solution that solves the problem and cut costs, like virtualizing some activities, then you provide something interesting to them."
