Requirements for the use of virtual worlds in corporate
trainingPerspectives from the post-mortem of a corporate e-learning provider
approach of Second Life and OpenSimulator
Leonel Morgado – INESC TEC and Universidade Aberta, Portugal
Hugo Paredes, Benjamim Fonseca, Paulo Martins – INESC TEC and UTAD
Ricardo Antunes – Instituto Politécnico de Leiria
Lúcia Moreira – Academia Unitel, Angola
Fausto de Carvalho, Filipe Peixinho, Arnaldo Santos – Altice Labs
• Created at Altice Labs(formerly Portugal Telecom Inovação)
• Corporate-centric Learning Management System:banks, insurance companies, airlines, telecoms, etc.
• Over 430,000 users worldwide
Alternatives for integration of virtual worlds in LMS
Full integration is…
…making the 3D environment a managed part of theLearning experience, using the same management platform.
In our view, the LMS…
…is the SOURCE
…is the STORE

THE RESULTS: reqs & sub-reqs!(grouped in 9 categories)
C1 Privacy of training sessions
C2 Record and replay behaviors of actors and other elements
C3 Support for virtual world content development
C4 Automated support for Administration
C5 Automated support for trainers and trainees
C6 Access to the LMS data and services in the 3D space
C7 Integration of virtual world data in the LMS
C8 LMS must be the source of control and management over educational activities in virtual worlds
C9 Existence of alternatives for voice communication in the 3D platform
What do you think, ?
We are planning a questionnaire, to get your views, based on…
Four main problems
1st – Storing VW content in the LMS
Solution for problem 1:LMS-controlled bots as data store
2nd – Placing content into the VW
Solution for problem 2:LMS-controlled bots act upon VW
Morgado et al. (2016). A Bot Spooler Architecture to Integrate Virtual Worlds with E-learning Management Systems for Corporate Training, Journal of Universal Computer Science, 22 (2), 271-297.
3rd – Receiving VW events and data
Solution for problem 3:VW scripts and Web Services
Pinheiro et al. (2014). Development of a mechanical maintenance training simulator in OpenSimulator for F-16 aircraft engines, Entertainment Computing, 5 (4), 347-355.
4th – Control VW platform from LMS
Solution for problem 4:LMS-controlled bots inject & deletes scripts and/or provide parameters
Example: R2g-63D objects should have user profile-based permissions
