Learning about renewables using VRML-technology

This paper presents the implementation of different learning possibilities and the mixing of traditional evaluated learning programs with hypermedia systems in the area of renewable energy sources. Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) has developed a standard for characterizing three dimensional objects which are particularly for transfer to the internet, and it is feasible in any e-learning concept. The interactive three dimensional representation allows online development and utilization of three dimensional environments and deeper contact, better than any drawing or written description. The goal of integrating complex three dimensional models into modern education is to increase the motivation of the students.
