Title | The role of architectural design in virtual worlds for educational purposes |

Abstract | This paper discusses the investigation of how architectural digital design elements of virtual worlds affect learning experiences. In particular, the research study focused on 3D virtual educational facilities and their impact on learning experience in comparison to real life in-class experiences. Emphasis is given on how a range of learning objectives affect design efforts in virtual worlds intended for supporting learning activities. Examples of how virtual worlds may transform learning experiences include information retention, participation and enjoyment. The paper considers design elements that have a causal effect to such learning objectives and considers what design recommendations could be used to enhance the student’s overall learning experience in 3D VLEs. |
