Access to
education is going to become crucial for the success of our information society. Therefore a lot of
potential is seen in distance learning and distributed virtual environments. The communicative
character of the distributed virtual environments would allow for students and stuff to meet in
social shared spaces and engage in on-line real-time seminars and tutorials. Such technologies may
mitigate some of the problems of isolation that distance learning brings. This paper presents multiuser
distributed virtual environments, which are designed and implemented for educational uses.1 aBouras, Christos1 aTsiatsos, Thrasivoulos1 aPhilopoulos, A  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/using-multi-user-distributed-virtual-environments-education?language=el
