Title- Usalpharma: a software architecture supporting learning in Virtual Worlds.
Abstract- This paper explains how was planned, designed and implemented a software architecture that helps the support of eLearning activities within a virtual laboratory inside the Second Life Virtual World. It delves into the problems related to this kind of systems and architectures and what are the possible benefits they could provide to eLearning processes. The paper shows how are applied the software engineering principles and procedures in order to solve problems like data gathering from Virtual Worlds, data analytics of information related to interaction between an user and a 3D environment, and how them can be applied to enhance the students' learning process and teachers' assessment of this learning process. Also the paper shows the software product resulting of this engineering process, as well as the outcomes from the application of the reached solution in a real context during two courses involving postgraduate students and subjects of Pharmacy and Quality Assurance. To end the paper, authors explain some considerations and knowledge retrieved after this experience, focusing in the utility from the learning point of view, innovation and possible future work that could be done to improve the solution implemented.
