Using multi user virtual environments to improve the quality of secondary education in developing countries

Secondary education systems of developing countries include a considerable amount of experiments that needs to be physically conducted in a laboratory. But due to lack of resources the student is expected to understand complex, less intuitive and cognitive demanding theories and concepts on their own with minimum opportunities to practical exploration. In this study we have explored the possible use of Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) to overcome this barrier for student learning.
