Meetings Meeting at the site of a virtual accident in Second Life. The American Cancer Society's annual Relay for Life is one example where people walk in the physical worlds while others created groups of walkers within a virtual world to support the event. In a VIE, learners can work together within the simulation.

Here is a video I created for my "Learning in 3D Class" which contrasts the world of 2D Synchronous tools with 3D Synchronous learning tools. hope it illustrates some of the advantages of 3D environments and some of the things that can be done to faciliate learning within a 3D environment.
