Lessons Learned from Conducting 3D Virtual World Learning Experi As of yet, there are few schools, certificate programs, or even seminars available to provide step-by-step instructions for conducting educational sessions in 3D virtual immersive environments. Absent those formal, standardized guidelines here are "lessons learned" from visionaries, rogue trainers, and brave instructional designers who have pioneered the creation and use of 3D learning environments (3DLEs) for teaching and learning. These tips will help anyone developing 3DLEs by providing basic guidelines for success. The tips are broken into five categories: business analysis audience design technology implementation. Business analysis Lesson 1: Solve a real business need with the implementation of the virtual immersive environment. Audience Lesson 2: Don't assume that the younger generation is automatically facile with virtual world environments. Lesson 3: Allow learners time alone with their avatar. Design Lesson 5: Don't approach design with a set of preconceived notions. Technology

Architecture + Third Party Viewer Directory From Second Life Wiki Second Life Wiki > Official Policies > Third Party Viewer Directory Using third party viewers You may connect to Second Life using software released by a third-party developer. Linden Lab provides a Policy on Third-Party Viewers to promote a positive and predictable experience for all Second Life Residents. Beware of third-party viewers that are not in the Viewer Directory: they have either declined to self-certify their compliance with Linden Lab policies or been refused for noncompliance with the policies. Viewer list The viewers in this first section participate in reporting crash statistics to Linden Lab, and are ordered from best to worst disconnect rate (% of sessions that end without the simulator seeing a logout). The rate used for each viewer is that of the most used version for that viewer in the sample period (a one week sample from Monday to Sunday). For developers: how to apply to list a viewer in this directory
