“…Moreover, the use of virtual reality ideas will support collaborative learning, e.g. in the form of simulations or learning scenarios in which learners can immerse themselves as avatars, during their communication with others (Churchill & Snowdon, 1998; Kuljis, 2002). Despite these new technologies and supporting measures there may be many more difficulties in communication and learning, which are hardly foreseeable at the present moment.…”

Web-based collaborative learning has a large potential for knowledge acquisition. However, it has different characteristics compared with conventional learning scenarios; especially with respect to the social communication situation, message exchange, cognitive load and participation of the learners. To cope with possible problems resulting from these characteristics suitable instructional means have to be considered, like collaborative learning methods, on-line moderation, appropriate learning tasks or computer-based visualisation tools.

“…Some systems have both synchronous and asynchronous capabilities. Synchronous capabilities can include realtime audio and video, text chat, annotation tools that allows the students or instructors to leave messages in the virtual world to be retrieved during future visits, and note taking capabilities (Kuljis, 2002). Asynchronous functionality has the ability to document, retrieve and replay virtual interactions.…”

The dramatic increase in distance learning (DL) enrollments in higher education is likely to continue. However, research on DL that includes psychomotor, cognitive, and affective skills is virtually non-existent. Indeed, DL for psychomotor skills has been viewed as impossible. Laboratory coursework, which we define as including the acquisition of psychomotor, cognitive, and affective skills, has become a limiting factor in the growth of DL. What is needed is a synergistic integration of technologies and Human-Computer Interface (HCI) principles from Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), collaborative learning systems, and immersive presence technologies to enable achievement of psychomotor learning objectives. This paper defines the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning requiring Immersive Presence (CSCLIP) research area, and introduces this special issue of Information Systems Frontiers on CSCLIP and the six papers contained herein.

“…Collaborative E-learning (CEL) has been one of the most significant education trends recent years based on such theories, as well as virtual reality and web technologies [1] . Educations based on CEL are no longer confined to fixed place and learners, which makes public education and individual education possible.…”

“…CEL always provides a friendly, immersive, 3-dimensional virtual environment and several real-time intercommunication ways for knowledge sharing and question discussion. Many CEL prototype systems have been developed, for example, INVITE [1] ， VES [2] , VRLEARNER [3] , and other systems. Some researchers have applied CEL in various fields such as bio-education [4] , medical training [5] , and geometric spatial training [6] .…”

Abstract.Although collaborative e-learning has been applied in many fields, it is rarely reported in geographic education. This paper describes one prototype of collaborative virtual geographic education environment (CVGEE). The prototype, developed using Java and Java 3D, provides one immersive 3-dimensional environment and many virtual teaching methods including virtual geographic environment, virtual geographic process. Teachers and learners can discuss with each other in a social way by combination virtualization and reality. Group learning and normal teacher-learner relationship can then be realized in CVGEE. An experiment was conducted to test the functions of the CVGEE prototype.
