Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for integrating people in risk of exclusion by means of Virtual Worlds. Different studies show the benefits of using virtual worlds for educational purposes, where you can develop a wide variety of innovative teaching and learning activities. In particular we are working with immigrants; with high school students with learning disabilities; and with people with cognitive disabilities (autism, Asperger, Down syndrome). In this paper we present three experiences in this area, one of them already finished and the other two being currently implemented.
