Summary

Educational software on the World Wide Web can benefit from 3D content. We look at appropriate 3D technologies and give examples of existing 3D learning content on the WWW for different disciplines including pre-school education, optics, biology, and foreign languages. Finally, we discuss the future of such content and its impact on the role of the teacher.
