Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a Three Dimensional (3D) Virtual World "History Education in a 3D Virtual World" using OpenSimulator, which will be offered to freshman students at universities located in the capital of the country. The use of interactive material will ensure that history education skills will be gained through virtual worlds.
The Project targets are:
1) Design and development of the three dimensional open virtual world environment on the OpenSim platform by the Project team,
2) Content design and development of the “3D education” to be given in this environment,
3) Creation of scenarios of interactive education to be used in history education in the practice section of the education and to develop sample materials.
