Paper Abstract:
|
There is an increasing research interest in online teacher support. Educational communities are making an effort for
encouraging virtual interactions, such as tutorial support, seminars, etc. The paper aim is to enhance communication
among professors and students by offering new education and training opportunities. We want to support the online
communication by providing convenient and cost-effective tools to University's current and future workforce. Our
research is focused on how we could have an improved graphical interface for messaging, by offering 3D content in
virtual environments in order to enhance educational interaction. We want to study new possibilities to the exchange of
messages among users in order to improve the current educational applications. |
