“…Beck et al [4] analysed VR based research in tourism and presented a comprehensive review on state of the art in these initiatives. Nemtino et al [25] have developed a database of 3D models constructed for the typical objects regarding cultural heritage and related concerns of memorial sites of famous Russian personalities of Tambov region. These objects include the structures of buildings, household buildings and items, utensils, local plants, and animals.…”

“…The re-construction of past provides an opportunity for the users to get fast and accurate learning about their culture heritage, which might not exist in its original form. They could be specifically used to get, youngsters, acquainted with the glorious cultural heritage [ 25 ]. Even, if, the heritage sites do exist physically, the development of their digital presences’ might help attract global audience, which might not be able to visit these places in person due to time, mobility, and budgetary constraints.…”

“…VWs have become famous for developing virtual presences of countless number of application domains including simulations, games, education, augmented reality, trainings, distributed collaborations, health-care design, commerce, visualization, and Web [18,33]. They are also increasingly used for promoting tourism and re-constructing the past [4,6,25]. The re-construction of past provides an opportunity for the users to get fast and accurate learning about their culture heritage, which might not exist in its original form.…”

Virtual worlds are the most advanced form of virtual environments, which offer one of the best platforms for serving various domains. They are, especially, well suited for education, to cope with the physical restrictions imposed due to COVID-19 outbreak, as they offer classroom experience to their users through immersion. They are online interactive spaces which are collaborative, persistent, coherent, and social in nature. Users immersed in these spaces are represented in the form of digital characters called, avatars. Virtual worlds offer advanced navigation methods such as flying and teleporting to facilitate quick learning. This paper analyses the use of a partial but carefully reconstructed cultural heritage site, developed in OpenSimulator framework, for learning both in terms of discourse and quantitative analysis. Discourse analysis compares the developed virtual world presence with traditional content provisioning methods in terms of a large set of well-known characteristics. Quantitative analysis, on the other hand, is based on data collected from users after conducting simple learning experiments. It revealed that the properties such as realism, friendliness, advanced navigation, and being detailed and social in nature greatly attracted user attention in learning. The learning was fast compared with traditional methods, however, it was a little hard for naive users to start exploring the content. Pre and post learning responses of users revealed that their knowledge level was significantly increased. Based on valuable suggestions, it is planned in future, to add intelligence to traditional agents, so they may help in an increased learning experience of users, based on the knowledge gained in earlier sessions.
