Designing virtual world educational applications

Different studies show the benefits of using virtual worlds for educational purposes, where you can develop a wide variety of innovative teaching and learning activities. During the last six years we have been developing educational applications using virtual worlds and mixed reality. In this paper we summarize our experiences from the point of view of the design of the educational materials that have been developed in these virtual worlds.
