Abstract:

E-learning is one of the emerging needs of the information age. Access to education is going to become crucial for the success of our information society, and therefore a lot of potential is seen in distance learning and virtual environments. Virtual reality interface to E-learning systems have recently appeared on the Internet. Using virtual reality in such applications appear to be promising to E-learning tasks more nature and interactive. Also using this technology, it is possible to get a sense of three dimensional environment. Virtual reality modeling language (VRML) is the most common tool for (3-D) viewing and browsing of E-learning systems. In this paper the benefits of using VRML for E-learning applications are demonstrated. This will be shown via building a web enabled virtual chemistry laboratory. This system gives the student the ability to perform all experiments according to certain crucial. VRML is used in this system to give the full visualization and interactivity of all experiments steps.
