MIKKELI, FINLAND -- August 16, 2003 -- Virtually Learning, an international enterprise that focuses on supporting educational innovations and helps educators move beyond conventional teaching methods, announces the launch of its premier services to global educational and research institutions.

Virtually Learning uses the 'Active Worlds' technology. This online application, a multi-user environment featuring new forms of real-time interactivity, allows users to construct diverse worlds in 3D. Its environments can be configured to bring new scope and dimension to current teaching methods, expanding the potential for collaboration and cooperation between students, teachers, and experts in the field regardless of the distance between.

The base technology is enhanced by Virtually Learnings team of educators, programmers, designers, modelers, and graphics artists. By structuring effective multi-media enhanced learning environments, Virtually Learning will help create custom learning environments and design curriculum activities that infuse best practices and align with current educational standards.

Use of these environments to enhance the learning experience is part of an ongoing effort in education to create new learning, communication, and collaboration paradigms in a global society. Virtually Learning helps strip away classroom walls, promoting connections that enhance a learners ability to experience the world.

These 3D worlds are online 24 hours a day and as such can be explored by anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Online presentations and demonstrations of our active educational environments are available by request.

Virtually Learning is a European company focused on educational innovation and collaborative learning.
