A Multiple Intelligences Theory-based 3D Virtual Lab Environment for Digital Systems Teaching

Abstract This paper describes a 3D virtual lab environ ment that was developed using OpenSim software integrated into Moodle. Virtuald software tool was used to provide pedagogical support to the lab by enabling to create online texts and delivering them to the students. The courses taught in this virtual lab are methodologically in conformity to theory of multiple intelligences. Some results are presented.
