Virtual Learning Communities of Practice in Metaverse
Gaia Moretti, Eliane Schlemmer · Advances in social networking and online communities book series · 2011
Characteristic of the contemporaneous age, and taking advantage of the diffusion of digital technologies, virtual communities are diffusing in the organization’s culture such as places where members can learn, work, or simply meet. The evolution of the same digital technologies, and the development of Digital Virtual Worlds in 3D (such as Second Life), permits now to think of new tools for the organizational communities and for communities in general that could build new knowledge, share common practices, and work together in immersive and collaborative spaces. Digital virtual spaces can contribute to change the traditional structure and definition of virtual communities, and can also contribute to their digital development, in the field of participation.
