Welcome to VIBE

Virtual Islands for Better Education (VIBE) is a collaboration to create learning activities and tools in virtual worlds. We have our own hypergrid to improve our ability to collaborate and make our builds directly accessible to more people. Our OpenSim grids include biology, archaeology, public health, a massive creative commons searchable library and a kids-centered grid. Please see The Team and Grids pages for more information
