I have had a go with using 2nd life in the classroom but with not much success. Hogs a lot of bandwidth and students have to install a client to run it. So I was interested to hear what Bill (3d Environment Project Examples | LearningWilds ) from NIS had to say. He uses a locally hosted application and shared some good ideas.
- Opensource.
- Can authenticate with LDAP.
- Based on Java so no seperate client
- hosted on a LINUX server
- can drag and drop .kmz files fro Google 3D warehouse (eg Simpson house, famous monuments etc)
