From 3D Virtual Museum to 3D Collaborative Virtual Workshop

In recent years, virtual museums have become more widespread and the usage of them for educational purposes has increased. They are used to facilitate educational process in different ways, such as presenting their exhibitions online and serving as a place for educational activities. In this paper, we present an example of such a virtual museum – “3D Virtual Environment for Learning Arts”. Still, only few of existing virtual museums provide sufficient support for collaboration and social interaction. Therefore, considering the growing importance of collaborative technologies and social networking in education, we show how a virtual museum can be enhanced and extended to serve as a collaborative virtual workshop.
