HOW CAN WEB-BASED VLES SUPPORT LEARNING IN VIRTUAL WORLDS?Three broad categories of ways to use VLE and
VW together: With access to the VLE from within the virtual
worlds (web-embedded in the virtual world) Providing guidance external (and separate
from) the VW learning experience By sharing data between VW & VLE about
activities taking place in the VW

SUPPORT FROM WEB

SUPPORTING VW ACTIVITIES FROM WEB Simplest form of linking is to provide
hyperlinks from web-pages from within the VLE
Modern VLEs are often used as a course’s ‘home’ online
Natural to exploit this to provide guidance and support for VW activities: Instructions, help, FAQs, discussion boards, etc.
Simple lessons: Providing links to the VW at the start of a set of
instructions will result in many students not reading the instructions!
Attention split between VW/VLE
