FRAME

FRAME is a 3D tool for creating and sharing in the virtual world. It works on browsers, desktops, mobile devices, and virtual reality environments.

What are the benefits?

• FRAME makes meeting and presenting online more personable and fun.

What are the drawbacks?

• The person creating the virtual world must register for an account, but those viewing the virtual world can access it from their browser without registering.
• It is unknown what level of accessibility FRAME affords so accessible materials may need to be provided as an alternative.

• FRAME allows teachers to conduct a live class in a virtual environment or allow students to view presentations asynchronously.
• FRAME can be used to showcase student work.
• This tool can be used for experiential learning like virtual field trips.
