One of the few (older) papers I have come across, discussing the use of a graphical virtual world for educational purposes. In this case, the world was inspired by the Habitat world, which I have
earlier referred to:
Shared Virtual Worlds for Education.
Oh, and the original paper by Morningstar and Farmer on Habitat "The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat " can be found
here. It is also available in print form, with full figures etc, in Benedikt (ed):
Cyberspace - First Steps.
