Conflict resolution is essential to effective team performance. Teams can practice communication and conflict resolution skills using tools deployed in virtual environments. We will discuss a case study for teaching nursing students how to manage conflict and explore strategies for engaging teams and evaluating team performance in virtual settings.

Applying language games in virtual worlds has been the objective of a teacher training initiative by the Italian Ministry of Education in Edmondo in OpenSimulator. Language educators from all over Italy learned to build, script and design communication activities and games which will be showcased in this presentation.

The development of virtual worlds has a detailed history in which acts of literary imagination and gaming innovations have led to advances in open-ended, socially oriented virtual platforms. This summary presentation focuses on the future advancements and key innovations which can be seen as paramount for the development of virtual worlds going forward, based on current and arising developments in the industry.

Latest data about OpenSim grids, users, and opinion surveys

A panel discussion featuring virtual worlds and VR platforms.

We present three applications Webstickies, Surround view portals and Configurable classrooms to describe our efforts for expanding the application design space for the OpenSimulatorulator platform.

A panel of core developers will discuss the future of the OpenSimulator platform. Expect a lively debate! Topics will include a variety of issues including the future of the Hypergrid, content licensing and permissions, scalability, project maturity, and much more. Find out where the platform is headed and learn more about the developers who make the software happen!

We present our approach for enabling users to inject Google maps and geo-located panoramic views into virtual training environments. These virtual environments can be created by users through point and click operations. We believe that by mixing 3D virtual content with real world geo-located visual cues, trainees are able to translate more easily any skill or knowledge they acquire during their virtual training.

Worlds on the web, discussing new access devices and haptics, plus the future of interfacing with virtual worlds and 3D/VR immersive spaces. Open Simulator, its forks and especially the hypergrid represent years of content, community and a compelling prototype for a formative “metaverse”, but as new players and platforms emerge, are we ready to push for a place in the accelerating scheme of online participatory environments?

This presentation will highlight how OpenSimulator Virtual Environments can be used for creating art and architecture. Student work and teacher perspectives will be showcased.

Liverpool Crown Street station is frequently identified as the earliest archetype for the railway stations of the present day but its life was short (1830-1836) and no visual record remains apart from general maps and a few sketches invariably made from the same perspective. The OpenSimulator model attempts to recreate a working station compatible with available evidence from other locations as well as Crown Street itself. The presentation reimagines the excitement of a first journey on this revolutionary n

Join us for a tour of Escape where you will find a variety of locations that present authentic language learning opportunities. While strolling through the plaza or investigating the old pyramid, you will encounter NPCs with whom you can casually converse about targeted vocabulary and grammar topics. Learning objects, embedded throughout the environment, take students through the process of attaining knowledge, practicing that knowledge and finally assessing their learning in an engaging and innovative form
