Abstract

In this paper, we aim to aid designers of 3D collaborative virtual environments in their work by presenting the pedagogical benefits of computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and discussing how these can be utilized in the definition of certain design guidelines for CVEs. We also present the challenges faced by CVE designers due to both the inherent characteristics of CVEs and the purpose these applications are designed to fulfil. Finally, based on bibliographical studies we suggest how these challenges can be overcome through thoughtful consideration of certain design principles.
