GSAP Welcome to the Virtual World Classroom, Summer 1995. As the name implies, the Virtual World Classroom project is meant to raise issues surrounding the design of virtual space, while exploring the pedagogical possibilities of the World Wide Web. As class work is created, it is automatically gathered, archived and published electronically.
Individuals can note and measure their own progress in relation to the group.
The Virtual World Classroom can be accessed 24 hours a day, from any computer on the Web. It provides access to personal electronic galleries where work is presented in the order in which it is submitted. Automated email buttons encourage the viewer to provide a critique. If one student develops a particularly interesting technique or procedure, the others can see it immediately, and will be able to seek more information in person, or communicate automatically by email. All work is submitted electronically, as renderings or animation sequences.
