“…The smartboards are based on web technology and therefore they are especially appropriate to present hypertext-based content. Partly for this reason, MaxWhere is perfectly suitable for learning purposes because it can be considered as a desktop virtual environment for education and learning (Berki, 2020), providing a personalized and customizable learning environment, and various paths for the learners (Horváth, 2020).…”

Through this paper, we will provide a brief overview of the 3D virtual library project and a more detailed review of its current application for English language learning. The implementation of the library project makes use of the innovative 3D presentation features of the MaxWhere Seminar System. As an innovative application of the project, we compiled a bilingual learning material for Hungarian students to improve their language skills and competence in English at an advanced level. The complex structure and organization of the learning material is based partially on the hypertextual relationships between entries of selected keywords containing various contexts from different works of world literature. We developed the learning material taking into careful consideration the appropriate characteristics of the hyperlink structure. Our basic hypothesis was that if the bilingual learning material is organized as a more or less scale-free network of interconnected nodes, this might or would result in an optimized and efficient knowledge transfer in the learning process. After the first version of the material had been completed, we wanted to evaluate the overall difficulty of the material. As such, we were using the Google Translate (GT) service to check the proper understanding of a set of selected English language phrases and sentences through their Hungarian translations provided by GT. As a result, we created a more or less scale-free learning material whose linguistic content has been properly checked.

“…From the beginning, we have laid great stress on the mapping and visualization of the library content in the virtual 3D space the characteristics of which have been thoroughly investigated and analyzed by a lot of studies. We found especially useful for our project the presentation of virtual buildings in the 3D space [19,27], the use of 3D VR as an effective virtual learning environment [20,21], and the psychological aspects of the 3D environment [5,6] but the number of such investigations is substantially increasing [15,16]. The virtual library project was originally intended to bring together, arrange and show relevant verbal and multimedia materials in the 3D virtual space about the Great Library of Alexandria and Greek literary texts in English (e.g.…”

In our paper we introduce a bilingual language learning material developed in the framework of the so-called three dimensional virtual library model (3DVLM). This model inspired by the history and organization of the famous ancient Library of Alexandria forms the basis of the virtual library project which started about eight years ago as part of the Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom) research. The current version of the 3DVLM uses the excellent 3D features of the MaxWhere Seminar System which makes it suitable for both individual learning and classroom use. In the following, we would like to introduce first the basic framework of our development, then describe in detail the data structure and organization of the developed bilingual language learning material. The basic idea of the material is to present selected phrases and contexts from classical literary works in English and from their parallel translations in Hungarian in order to improve both the language skills and background knowledge of Hungarian language learners at an advanced level. We found that using web technology was especially useful for developing the language learning material and the developed hypertext structure formed a scale-free network of interconnected nodes.
