Welcome to the world of Virtual Worlds! The mission of this project is to teach you the basics of Virtual Worlds and, more importantly, how to use them for educational purposes!

Virtual Worlds are one of the newer developments on the Internet. And one of the most exciting we must say! Every day new worlds are created, with their own theme and mission.

Back in 1985 the first real multi-user Virtual World started in the form of Lucasfilms' Habitat. From that time on the future was set!

Todays' software like Active Worlds and The Palace offer great solutions for both entertainment and professional use.
