Abstract :
Internet is now in widespread use, and it changes the way people acquire information and knowledge. We can now begin learning at any place in any time through internet. In this thesis, we used VRML to construct an online Virtual Wildlife Park With Virtual Reality immersive ability students may interact with others just like in the real world. Students can also interact with the virtual animal models to make them figure those animals out. The Virtual Wildlife Park also provides the elementary communication ways to promote cooperation among the students.
