Özet

Three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds represent a new horizon when used as learning environments. However, three-dimensional learning environments need to be carefully developed in order to be effective achieving the specified goals. In this study, the analysis, design, development, imlementation and evaluation process to create a learning environment in the form of an island with the theme of winter sports within Second Life (a virtual world) is described in detail. Steps to be noted in the analysis, design, development and implemetation phases are mentioned. We expect that this study will be helpful to future designers, as we discuss several crucial factors to consider and pitfalls to avoid during the design of an effective learning environments in this 3D virtual world.
