Goals: X3D and E-Learning

The Web3D Consortium is starting a new interest group: X3D and E-Learning.

This group will enable the creation of Web-Enabled 3D content, tools and platforms for online e-learning.

We will collaboratively harmonize and integrate X3D Graphics content with other standards.

Tasks

TODO Our tasks include

  • Explore and demonstrate best practices for integrating X3D Graphics models with e-learning content.
  • Create demonstration examples showing how X3D model display, animation and user interaction can all augment the learning effectiveness of online textbooks.
  • Show how X3D can serve as the common archival publishing format for a wide variety of diverse 3D graphics technologies.
  • Document these lessons learned for repeatable use by partnered consortium members and the educational community.
  • Formalize this effort and start a Working Group to implement these requirements to the respective standards specifications.
