RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Marešová, Hana T1 E-LEARNING IN THE MULTI-USER VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT JF Journal of Technology and Information Education YR 2009 VO 1 IS 1 SP 39 OP 44 DO 10.5507/jtie.2009.006 UL https://jtie.upol.cz/artkey/jti-200901-0006.php AB The article refers to the possibilities of use the multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) applications in the computer assisted learning. MUVE applications incorporate computer graphics, sound simulation and networks to simulate the experience of real time interaction between multiple users in a shared three-dimensional virtual world. In the area of education, these applications can be used for training, simulation, teaching, virtual meetings and conferences and so on. The differences between the early communication tools and MUVE is based especially on the simulation of real environment by 3D virtual graphics objects, 3D graphical representation of each user (avatar) or communication by virtual "face to face" in real time.
