Yes, visuals bring abstract ideas, processes, concepts and procedures to life. Our brains are wired that way. I hope you like Kapp's book. And I love your idea that e-learning will become e-doing. Awesome. Connie Hey ThreeDee and thanks for your thoughtful comment. Yes, visuals bring abstract ideas, processes, concepts and procedures to life. Our brains are wired that way.

I had started my career in 3D animation when 3D was a number letter combination that made most people say huh, what? Since then I have made numerous animations for clients teaching prospective customers how and what machines of great complexity do for the customer (a form of e-learning in my opinion). I have personally witnessed the effect it has on understanding. A good artist can bring forth the operations in ways that just cant be done via other methods. Think of a running machine cutaway showing the layers of gears... then make it interactive. Nothing has ever even come close to this kind of worker machine interactivity. As we progress, I don't believe we will be e-learning, instead we will be e-doing. The military has already begun with the drones, but the real application will be in the workplace. Wake up, get on your computer, log into your truck in Alaska, start your digging operation. It's really not that far off and is probably one of the most realistic ways to reduce carbon emissions, gas consumption, and many other harmful bi-products of daily driving. Anyhow, just my 2 cents. Hope the book is good. I have not read this book yet, but look forward to do so. I had started my career in 3D animation when 3D was a number letter combination that made most people say huh, what?

I really enjoy reading your site and I have just recently wrote my master dissertation around promoting 3D virtul worlds for learning in the workplace. I do agree that 3D virtual worlds provide a learning environment that engages learners much more in their learning process by allowing the personal reflection onto an avatar. The immersiveness reduces (maybe even eliminates) the multitasking habbit participants of virtual classrooms have. However, my project has also shown that the ease of use of the 3D environment has a high impact on the adoption process of these environments for learning. I am very excited to see these environments being use more and more for learning and hope that its potential will not be wasted by only replicating what we do in the real world. Wencke Hi Connie

Thank you very much for this interesting article. I really enjoy reading your site and I have just recently wrote my master dissertation around promoting 3D virtul worlds for learning in the workplace.
