Virus safety - good
Description: Three dimensional virtual university using the new virtual worlds technology. TheU looks like a real, visual campus with buildings, green space, meeting places, and a whole range of services.
TheU is an exciting concept project for a new type of learning facility, initiated by the Contact Consortium. It is positioned to straddle between traditional campus based universities and the growing number of distance-learning projects. Distance learning using current methodology offers many advantages to students in remote areas and students attending part-time courses. However it lacks the sense of community and social interaction which can be achieved by sharing the same environmental spaces and experiences. In the long term we foresee Virtual Worlds technology becoming a tool for enabling completely new and innovative teaching methods.
