Training and Collaboration with Virtual Worlds: Table of Contents.:
"Each chapter of this book takes you into a rich set of topics, many of which could be expanded into separate books on their own. However, we move quickly to discuss all the topics and data you need to know for a solid introduction to this field. Extensive references in each chapter point to more resources for further exploration."

Michelin Group's enterprise architecture group has begun training IT application delivery professionals (e.g., developers, architects, and infrastructure, security, and integration professionals) on complex concepts using the Second Life virtual world. Trainees participate in both traditional presentation-style learning and interactive hands-on exercises. While it's still early, so far all signs point to success. Early participants in the program have shown that it doesn't take long to learn to use the environment, visualizing complex concepts makes them easier to understand, and the immersive experience helps increase their engagement in the learning process."
"Executive Summary
Funded by a Royal Charter in 1969, the Open University (OU) is the largest university in the United Kingdom and the only one dedicated to providing quality university education to the public through visionary distance learning. Over 2 million people have studied with the Open University and there are currently over 150,000 undergraduate and more than 30,000 postgraduate students enrolled in OU programs. For 70 per cent of students who are balancing full-time jobs and their studies, a flexible schedule is a first priority"
"Virtual worlds are being used by organizations to reduce costs, improve performance, and accelerate learning. Using the example of training at Canada Border Services, Ken Hudson will discuss some principles of virtual world design, and the success factors of this training pilot project. He will also describe some of the obstacles that had to be overcome, and the process of moving from a pilot to broader implementation.
