What is E-Learning, E-Moderating

This chapter reflects on the educational potential of virtual worlds and draws on the results of ST.ART project - Street Artists in a virtual space (www.startproject.eu). ST.ART project innovative aspect embraces both the topic (street art) and the methodology (virtual platforms as e-learning and 3D virtual worlds) as well as the pedagogy applied that uses an inquiry-based method (learning by doing) to support a traditional deductive teaching pedagogy. This approach is not only related to the use of a relatively new technology but also to the educational, pedagogical, cultural, and motivational benefits derived from the chosen methodology. The chapter describes new insights and findings that emerged during the experimentation phase of the project and that were never anticipated when the project was first designed.
