Abstract

e-Learning applications have started to exploit web-based three dimensional (3D) Virtual Environments (VEs) to augment learning experiences. Moreover adaptive support in these 3D VEs further endow potential to empower the learner’s experiences and enhance effectiveness of learning process by presenting personalized content and navigational support. Adaptivity in these 3D VEs however, sets the new challenges for the researchers. Most of the techniques that are devised for adaptive content presentation and navigation in 3D spaces are focused on single-user environment. Surprisingly few research efforts have been yet dispensed for the adaptivity in multi-users VEs, however based on textual VEs. In this paper, we present an adaptive approach for multi-users in 3D VEs. We customize the Adaptive Web 3D (AWE3D) architecture to provide the adaptive support in 3D VEs for multi-users. We design an adaptive learning scenario for Adult Basic Education (ABE) in 3D VE of OpenSim to explain, the proposed methodology.
