Collaborative Virtual Environments as Means to Increase the Level
Authors: Ligorio M. Beatrice, Cesareni Donatella, Schwartz Neil

The Euroland project—a virtual land created and populated by seven classrooms supported by a team of researchers—was analyzed with the aim of tracking down the process and the structure of intersubjectivity.
