Abstract:
- Establishing and nurturing vibrant learning communities is seen as a highly complex process. An important concept in this context is that of social awareness. In this paper, we discuss supporting social awareness by 3D visualization of social networks, activities and resources. We compare social awareness support provided by virtual environments of Active Worlds and Second Life, outlining directions for future work.
