Even if the goal is to foster informal learning, the virtual world environment must be structured appropriately to encourage and enable interaction between and among learners. When creating virtual learning environment, the basic tenants of instructional design still apply as they do with any new technology that enables learning.

One of the most interesting things about the aricle was that it stated " despite entering Second Life to much mainstream media fanfare, companies like Sears, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Coca Cola, Reebok, and Calvin Klein have so far failed to attract even 500 weekly visitors." So are these ventures failures?

The real advantage of learning in 3D is that it allows the learner to be immersed in a learning environment that is as close to the actual environment as you can get without being there. In terms of the explanation of the value of learning in 3D I ask "Are we on target with this?"
