    V-Learning
    Summary
    V Learning is a virtual worlds learning management system that plugs into traditional web based LMS, harnessing the power of 3D technology. This replicates existing pedagogical strategies and provides new opportunities for novel immersive and engaging learning experiences. These immersive spaces can be used for collaboration, information retrieval, personal learning, simulation training or social networking.
