Abstract:
Achieving complete transfer of learning when involved with training and development is usually more of a hope than a reality. Recently Virtual Human Resource Development has shown great value as a supplement to traditional employee training methods that support understanding and learning. Among the techniques being employed in VHRD, a three dimensional virtual web platform known as Second Life has achieved significant positive results in a relatively short period of time. This paper is an attempt to determine the extent of the positive results that Second Life has reportedly achieved in various professions such as business, education and health care.
