3D Flash Cards Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:18 DESCRIPTION The 3D Flash Card game was built and custom programmed for Skoolaborate, a global community of users who use a blend of technologies such as, blogs, online learning, wiki's and  ‘virtual worlds’ to transform learning.  The 3D Flash card game allows teachers in Second Life to create flash card decks for their students to use in order to sharpen their vocabulary skills.  To play the game, students first select a deck to practice. The deck cards then fly into the sky 30 meters above the user's avatar.  The flashcards then start approaching the user one at a time.  The user has a specified time limit in order to type in the correct answer and blast the flash card out of the sky!  The user has 3 chances to guess the correct answer before the time runs out.  All scores are recorded in an external database, and reported on a leader board.  This game is useful for motivating students to learn in a 3D environment.
