Summary/Abstract: Users of today want to be able to move intuitively and quickly in an online learning offer or e-learning course. The virtual learning world is a tool for making the navigation within a complex and ever-growing learning offer simple, clear and, above all, interesting! Just like IT professionals, newcomers to IT also find their way around these virtual worlds very successfully due to the kinesthetic approach. This is a virtual place which begins to convey statements and content immediately upon entry and navigation, and the spatial design of the interface is designed accordingly. The learning environments allow the user to allocate the content offer correctly, and several "paths to knowledge" are enabled for different types of learners. Learning content is thus conveyed together with image, brand values, sales arguments and corporate culture. In 2007, 2013 and 2014 create 21st century received the E-Learning Award from the German E-Learning Journal for the concept of the virtual world of learning and our "Storytelling Engine" technology for the Oxford School, Silhouette World of Learning and for the Bank Austria UniCredit Academy. The Storytelling Engine for Learning Ambience has been constructed based on didactical, dramaturgical and design technical criteria. Clients such as Nestle, the AUDI Academy and many more are already using the create 21st century learning worlds successfully in their commercial operations. In this paper create 21st century will not only present the Storytelling Engine for Learning Ambience as a technical innovation, but also the principles our virtual learning worlds are based on through the homogenous mixture of the 3D's: Didactics, Dramaturgy and Design. The success recipe relies on a didactically target group optimal structuring of the learning content, a motivational dramaturgy curve achieved through storytelling and gamification elements and an intuitive design focused on achieving a perfect LEARNING & USER EXPERIENCE. Our technological and conceptual approach will be presented through concrete case studies such as the Virtual World of Audi and the Bank Austria UniCredit Academy.
