From the ebook Learning Spaces , this excerpt is from Chapter 6: The Psychology of Learning Environments by Ken A. Graetz, Director of e-learning at Winona State University. On one end of the continuum are virtual worlds that emulate a natural, multidimensional environment.

Johns Hopkin’s Applied Physics Lab (APL) worked with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and the University of Baltimore to deploy a 3-D Virtual Learning Lab. This is a state of the art learning environment modeled after the facility APL uses for DoD and NASA projects. And they are planning a Moon environment too!
