“…Popularity of SL has increased manifolds over the past few years in different sectors, right from education, health and business due to rapid expansion of immersive environment along with its increasing acceptability (Nash, 2009;Aharony and Shonfeld, 2015;Morch, et al, 2017;Sipos and Balen, 2017;Lorenzo et al, 2018). Universities are using SL for diverse purposesright from informing students lecture schedules to simulating flu pandemics and teaching rescue workers how to respond to a potential disaster (as cited in Clarke, 2012).…”

“…Apart from being a popular platform for online learning (Morch, et al, 2017), "since they are designed to offer 3D space, avatars, real-time communication, interaction capabilities and collaboration" (Sipos and Balen, 2017), application of 3DVW has also been steadily perceived in medical sciences, libraries, archives and museum. Blended learning has been widely adopted in higher education institutes to lessen the time and space constraint in a learning session (Zulkanain, et al, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to explore the possibility of introducing a 3D environment in the library by reviewing current literature and to provide a good understanding of different purposes of using this immersive environment. Design/methodology/approach The present paper is a narrative account of libraries’ presence in the virtual world in combination with an overview of how libraries respond to the 3D environment. Relevant data for the review paper have been collected from library websites, books, journal articles, interview, etc. Findings The study found purposive involvement of libraries in this immersive environment which indicates that users use this exciting 3D medium to satisfy their information requirement. Research limitations/implications The paper basically considers publications containing observations of broader research community in the relevant field and contents in websites dealing with virtual world and outlines the major features as discussed in available documents. The review study infers that the implementation of 3D project in libraries requires a mindset for the specific approach, from the end of both librarians and users, together with involvement of funds. Therefore, a library may start with a beta project and observe the effectiveness from the users’ perspective before embarking on a full-fledged project. Originality/value With numerous examples, as evident from publications and websites, the current review study makes an attempt to improve the understanding of librarians towards informed selection of projected purposes to be integrated with the virtual world from library perspective. The study also presents different approaches of libraries motivating users in the virtual world that other libraries may follow while considering their 3D library project.

Os resultados positivos demonstrados por diversas pesquisas sobre o uso de novas tecnologias da informação na educação evidenciam novas formas de atrair e engajar estudantes no processo educativo. Uma dessas tecnologias, chamada de Jogos Sérios, propõe a utilização de jogos digitais com finalidades para além do entretenimento do jogador, como educação, marketing e política. Esta pesquisa descreve o desenvolvimento de um jogo sério voltado ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem de normas, procedimentos e termos técnicos sobre sistemas fotovoltaicos. O jogo Phototype foi desenvolvido sob o apoio de metodologias voltadas a jogos educacionais, como o Heuristic Framework e o Learning Mechanics – Game Mechanics; e avaliado por intermédio de um questionário e instrumentos técnicos que observaram a percepção dos estudantes de um curso superior em relação às mecânicas de jogo e aprendizado do jogo digital. Os resultados da pesquisa identificaram uma experiência positiva por parte dos estudantes na utilização do jogo Phototype, sugerindo sua importância como ferramenta educacional e de apoio ao ensino-aprendizagem, complementando o resultado de pesquisas anteriores.
