Abstract

User interface for e-learning in a virtual environment.

Enrique Novella

The company Virtual eTraining wants to expand their line of products by adding aversion of their 3D environments with a cheaper to produce 2D version of it. Theydecided that they would start by making a proof of concept to showcase in WorldAviation Training Conference and tradeshow, Orlando USA, in late April 2015. Takinginspiration from the tools that the company ThingLink has developed and evolving itto be used for educational purposes that mimic what Virtual eTraining is currentlyusing in its 3D environment tool is what this paper describes.The paper highlights the difficulties of developing an application that is easy to use,self explanatory and that delivers good looking content for the end user with thelimited screen size that is offered by an Ipad. Being able to produce courses withpictures of environments/tools that the student is going to be in/use is a verypowerful way of learning. The application was later named TagLinked.
