“…The results support numerous studies which show educators' opinion regarding the use of MUVEs for learning to be generally very positive (Childress & Braswell, 2006;de Freitas, et al, 2010;KamelBoulos, et al, 2007;Hemmi, et al, 2009;Hobbs, et al, 2006).…”

Three-dimensional multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have the potential to provide experiential learning qualitatively similar to that found in the real world. MUVEs offer a pedagogically-driven immersive learning opportunity for educationalists that is cost-effective and enjoyable. A family of digital virtual avatars was created within Second Life® to investigate the implementation of a problembased learning (PBL) task. The consensus among tertiary level educators was that the experience provided more immersion and engagement than traditional methods of technological provision, leading to potentially increased depth of learning. PBL appears to be an effective tool for aiding learning within immersive three-dimensional MUVEs.

“…The most prominent application of 3D virtual worlds is SL, which provides a place to connect many people, to explore knowledge, and to practice education as well. Hobbs et al, noted that SL is an interactive and immersive environment that facilitates the information flow, supports communication, commits to group discussion, and collaboration among members [12]. Additionally, Jarmon et al, emphasized that SL has significant impact in absorbing practical experience through learning by doing [13].…”

Construction industry is a very complicated and complex environment that causes high accident rate. The development of advanced virtual world has become an important issue for safety education in order to reduce dangerous occurrence in the construction site. However, most researchers on virtual world still have limitations such as the offline virtual world simulation, the low level of interaction between users in virtual world, and so on. With the regard to this issue, this paper proposes the adoption online 3D world Second Life (SL) platform which allows students to perform role-playing, dialogic learning, and social interaction for efficient and effective construction safety and health education. In this approach, construction safety education model based on Second Life (CSESL) is developed, which consists of the following three modules: 1) Safety information and knowledge preparation to understand the critical causes of accident in construction site; 2) Collaborative simulation for safety case study to transfer unsafe case or dangerous occurrence information to 3D modeling; 3) Reflection on safety lesson for education and training to enhance practical safety knowledge by participating in 3D inspection game. The CSESL advantages and disadvantages are identified by testing the model using a real case scenario. This study presents the potentials and benefits of SL which could enhance construction safety and health education.

“…Concerning applicability, the value of SL has been acknowledged as a supplemental tool for professional training (Dalgarno, Lee, Carlson, Gregory, & Tynan, 2011;Eaton et al, 2011;Hobbs, Brown, & Gordon, 2006;Lee & Berge, 2011;Steinkuehler & Williams, 2006). SL has been widely used in academic contexts and the most commonly used fields include: computer studies, science and humanities, design training, language, and tourism (Livingstone & Kemp, 2006).…”
