Virtual worlds such as SecondLife and OpenSimulator have opened up great opportunities in this front. The major issue with virtual worlds with respect to education is lack of models that consistently describe the entire learning process. Most of the prior work was focused on building tools to extend...
In this article, a new interactive information transmission model of learning based on Visual Simulation System for digital campus is created and researched. Fundamental conception and technological features of digital campus as well as the general framework of its visualization subsystem are introduced. A practical case of visual campus simulation system of Guangxi University of Technology is described...
Of the three major sectors of the world's economy, the services industry is becoming the largest as growing numbers of people shift their jobs away from manufacturing and extraction (which includes agriculture, mining, and so on). Training people to work in the modern services economy will increasingly require innovative approaches to evolve our traditional education systems, which haven't necessarily...
