About Virtual Visit
It may look like a video game, but Virtual Visit has strong educational merit. A 3-D online experience, Virtual Visit lets users explore the Alberta Legislature on their own or through a guided tour, in English or French. The layout, scale, lighting and finishes of the Alberta Legislature are reproduced in amazing detail. Teachers can develop their own lessons and activities to use when experiencing Virtual Visit or access any of the educational resources provided.
The Virtual Visit: Step Inside the Alberta Legislature project was developed by the Learning Technologies Branch, Alberta Education, in 2005 as a centennial project in collaboration with the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. It was designed to replicate, not replace, the public and educational tours offered by the Visitor Services Branch of the Legislative Assembly Office and provide a virtual environment to support educational activities relevant to the social studies program of studies at various grade levels.
