Abstract

Over the last years, virtual worlds were in the focus of many universities as the platform for e-learning in the (near) future. Even though the most popular worlds already contain many university representations, most of the e-learning scenarios do not use or integrate the technology for projects that go beyond already – in the 2D Internet – existing approaches. We agree that the idea of using avatars in seminars, discussion or lectures needs to be used but also claim to build advanced models to demonstrate processes that are generally not accessible to learners. Besides a short introduction to Second Life, the University of Hamburg island and the initiative Campus Hamburg, the focus is set on a supply chain and the deeper integration in the (classroom) teaching.
