This thesis presents LORNAV, a prototype web-based 3D tool designed to visualize Learning Objects (LOs) in a virtual environment over the Internet. The learning objects focused on are represented using the IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) standard and are distributed among multiple repositories. The repositories may be located locally on the LORNAV server or be distributed elsewhere on the Internet. LORNAV dynamically creates a 3D representation of each of the LOs from the LOM elements based on a predefined template and displays it in 3D virtual environment using several visualization metaphors. The creation of the 3D virtual environment is also influenced by the individual user profile that reflects the interest of the user using the system. LORNAV allows the user to navigate through the 3D environment, view the associated metadata of the 3D objects, read/play the content, and select the objects of interest to create a personal space within the 3D environment. The introduction of personal space provides the user with a familiar navigation space consisting of LOs of his/her choice.
