Universcity: Towards a Holistic Approach to Educational Virtual<br />
City Design<br />
International Conference on Virtual Systems <strong>and</strong> Multimedia,<br />
2010, IEEE CS Press.<br />
<strong>Mikhail</strong> <strong>Fominykh</strong> developed presented framework <strong>and</strong> wrote the<br />
paper with Ekaterina Prasolova-Førl<strong>and</strong>. Francesco Bellotti <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Mikhail</strong> Morozov provided feedback throughout the writing<br />
process. All the authors participated in projects which the study is<br />
based on.<br />
In this paper, we propose a holistic approach to the educational<br />
virtual city design. The concept <strong>of</strong> ‘Universcity’ is a general<br />
framework with hierarchical <strong>and</strong> multilayer structure that can be<br />
used for designing virtual cities, most relevant for researchor/<strong>and</strong><br />
education-intensive cities. The presented approach was<br />
developed based on related work <strong>and</strong> the experience in two<br />
projects: VCYO <strong>and</strong> TIE.<br />
The paper contributes towards C6: ‘Universcity’ framework. In<br />
addition, it makes a minor contribution to C4: Guidelines for<br />
designing virtual campuses <strong>and</strong> educational virtual cities <strong>and</strong> C5:<br />
Virtual Research Arena framework.<br />
The paper answers research question RQ3b: How to support<br />
learning communities in an educational virtual city?<br />
