Abstract
The project reported here is aimed at building a Virtual Knowledge Park as a site in the Internet, fostering interdisciplinary learning of science, technology, and human culture. The development of the Virtual Park requires a systemic approach in dealing with questions and devising solutions regarding four main areas: the content, the learning environment, learning processes, and technological features. The features of the first prototype of a wing in the Park are presented: it’s structure (namely exhibition, experimentation, and workshop areas, knowledge center and main general spaces); the activities allowed (e.g., activation of exhibits, cooperative on-line tasks); and future development and research lines.
