摘要
Technology and science experiences play a fundamental role in a society of constant changes and the seemingly endless streams of easily accessible information. Because of this, adult continuous education has arisen as a means of enhancing the understanding of current social, scientific and technological challenges. The "Technology and Science Experiences virtual scenarios" project aims to engage adults in collaborative learning within Second Life, supplying them with learning resources, sources of expertise and flexible, levelled, engaging activities. The potential of Second Life in education is being explored alongside the creation and implementation of a virtual scenario case study entitled "The solar system". (C) 2015 The Authors.
