A virtual room has a certain room type and a unique name. In the upper left corner the message board, a structured chat window, is displayed. The browser in the lower left corner shows all rooms and their current inhabitants. Other rooms of different types can be arbitrarily created during a learning process. In group rooms learning groups can discuss specific topics, auditoriums best support trainers or tutors presenting teaching material.
Participants can move from room to room as they like and transport material.
Specific browsers provide information on available rooms, inhabitants of the virtual world, and their current location in the virtual world. All participants in one room have the same view of the room and its content. They can use tele-pointers to indicate the current focus of the communication to all other participants in the room. Chat and audio conferencing tools are used for synchronous communication inside a room. Asynchronous communication is supported by the integrated message and e-mail tools.
