AMBIENTES VIRTUAIS

Bruno Martins nº 6116Rui Palmeira nº 6405

“Uma comunidade virtual é uma comunidade que estabelece relações num espaço virtual através de meios de comunicação a distância. Se caracteriza pela aglutinação de um grupo de indivíduos com interesses comuns que trocam experiências e informações no ambiente virtual. Um dos principais fatores que potencializam a criação de comunidades virtuais é a dispersão geográfica dos membros. O uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação - TICs minimizam as dificuldades relacionadas a tempo e espaço, promovendo o compartilhamento de informações e a criação de conhecimento coletivo.” in pt.wik ipedia.org/wik i /Comunidade_vir tual
