摘要
Second Life has established itself as the benchmark in virtual world education, offering a set of useful synchronous communication tools out of the box as well as design construction and a community of developers and educators working together to create revolutionary projects. However, the virtual platform lacks interesting activities when tasks are designed for single users. You can still generate exercises for the student but the sensation of immersion that provides both the motivation and sense of reality to the student is reduced. In light of this, our aim in this article is to apply automation technology to a virtual world avatar to remedy these shortcomings, studying the potential of this idea through the specific implementation of a guided visit bot.
