Abstract :
This project addresses the design of a framework for the development of learning contexts through virtual learning communities, based on the development of learning activities. It endeavours to establish a framework to rethink the management of learning and knowledge as processes of social participation within virtual contexts of collective learning. It builds on the conviction of the importance of creating a model that may represent a guideline for the design of systems for the management of knowledge and learning in educational sites and, ultimately, for building learning contexts for virtual environments.
