教育虚拟环境（EVE）是协作虚拟环境（CVE）的一个实例，CVE专注于提供协作和教育功能，例如同步和异步电子学习服务。本文描述了这样一个教育虚拟社区，旨在满足虚拟协作空间的需求，并进一步支持电子学习服务。特别是，我们正在开发一个基于网络的系统，允许用户通过论坛、聊天、电子邮件与社区的其他成员交流，安排在学习环境中发生的事件，加入甚至创建课程，这些课程在3D多用户世界中举行，用户由化身代表。这些特性提供了扩展功能，例如支持应用程序共享和语音聊天、传输教育材料以及将用户的配置文件传输给其他社区成员。我们描述了这个社区的模型和它提供的功能。
An Educational Virtual Environment (EVE) is an instance of a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE), which focalises in providing collaborative, as well as educational, functionalities, such as synchronous and asynchronous e-learning services. This paper describes such an educational virtual community, which aims to meet the requirements of a virtual collaboration space and furthermore to support e-learning services. In particular, we are developing a Web-based system, which allows users to communicate with the other members of the community through forums, chat, e-mail, to schedule events which take place in the learning environment and to join, and even create, courses, which are held in 3D multi-user worlds where users are represented by avatars. These characteristics offer extended functionalities such as support of application sharing and voice chat, transmission of the educational material as well as transmission of the users' profiles to the other community members. We describe the model of this community and the functionalities that it provides.
