Abstract
The paper presents our experience as projectionists, developers and administrators of an e-Learning system based on the metaphor of virtual learning communities. The system originally conceived as an auxiliary instrument to blended didactics of our faculty has, subsequently, been extended to other experiences (especially to applications of life-long learning). This change has highlighted how a software system of this kind needs to manage in a different way the general organization of virtual communities. In the paper we will analyse the nature of the change the system had to undergo following its extension to greatly different learning environments.
