Case Study: SIMiLLE

System for an Immersive and Mixed reality Language Learning Environment

This is a JISC funded project investigating using virtual world technologies to create meaningful contexts for learning a foreign language. It addresses the problem for distance learning students unable to experience the cultural and social immersion when learning a language, and to enrich and control the cultural content for students already located in the host environment. A virtual world is being built using Sun's Project Wonderland toolset, and it will be evaluated for both its technological and pedagogical utility.
