In this paper we discuss the potentialities of 3D virtual worlds in education. We argue that assignments in virtual worlds and a constructivist approach go hand in hand. We identify the aspects of virtual worlds (such as ActiveWorlds and SecondLife) that make them useful for education and research, as well as aspects that do not. We found that intertwining real life instructional courses with virtual constructivist courses was very promising in terms of the learning experience. We demonstrate this twofold approach with our course "Virtual Worlds" at the University of Professional Education (Hogeschool) Utrecht. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
