Using High Fidelity Avatars to Enhance Learning Experience in Virtual Learning Environments

Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are the quintessence of the integration of several Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the learning process. In this study, we investigate the performance of a multi-user Virtual Reality Learning Environment (VRLE), incorporating high-fidelity avatars, as a tool for enhancing learning experience in VLEs. This work presents the system architecture along with preliminary evaluation results provided by 19 post-graduate students.
