Abstract The use of three-dimensional Collaborative Virtual Environments (3D CVEs) for educational purposes has been constantly increasing during the recent years. One of the reasons is the potential of such environments and the possibility they offer for supporting collaborative work with various types of content. Another important reason is an opportunity for participants to interact in a way that conveys a sense of presence lacking in other media. These opportunities result in a number of benefits for establishing and supporting learning communities, simulating various contexts and conducting educational activities. Nevertheless, this area is in the early stage of development and needs both theoretical concepts and empirical results. The research work presented in the thesis has three main objectives. The first is to provide recommendations and guidelines for supporting collaborative work on 3D educational content. The second is to provide frameworks for designing tools and environments in 3D CVEs to benefit educational activities. The third is to provide frameworks for technological and instructional support of learning communities in 3D CVEs. Within this research work, four empirical studies were conducted. The data were extracted from a number of sources, including direct observation, digital artefacts created by the participants and recorded interaction, reflection and feedback. Analysed data were applied to each next empirical study and, in addition, used for developing theoretical frameworks. iii
