The Federation of American Scientists: Game Based Learning in Virtual Environments in Second Life
The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) had a multi phase plan to build an online environment in virtual worlds to enable communities to learn through experience sharing & collaborative building. FAS involved TIS in recreating a static environment in Second Life to duplicate the environment of a stand alone game called ‘Discover Babylon’ that FAS had developed earlier.
The goal was to recreate in Second Life the objects & artifacts of the Discover Babylon game. Second Life is a Web-based, Immersive 3D Virtual environment with Synchronous Multi-user role-play capability Second Life is an ideal learning environment for management training, process training, sales training, Exploration, Individual or Team competition, situations involving real world visual experience.
