Web 3D simulation-based application in tourism education: A case study with Second Life

“…In order to enhance the adaptability and versatility of their programs, higher education institutions around the world have gradually created a variety of virtual learning environments for their students (Brodie, 2009;Bronack et al, 2008;Dale, 2007;De Lucia, Francese, Passero, & Tortora, 2009;Hsu, 2011;Mapuva & Muyengwa, 2009;Robinson, 2011).
