Abstract

This chapter discusses the process of forming Digital Virtual Communities in the Metaverse. The authors present and discuss subtopics like “Communities: Historical and Concept Aspects and Characteristics,” “Digital Virtual Learning Communities,” “Digital Virtual Learning and Practice Communities,” “Digital Virtual Learning and Practice Communities in Metaverses.” As a main conclusion, it is possible to say that another perspective and tendency for Digital Virtual Communities of Learning and Practice lies in the nomadic-hybrid-multimodal Digital Virtual Communities of Learning and Practice, which means they use different technologies of any kind, including games and simulations in fixed or mobile devices at any time and space, in coexistence with spaces of action and interaction of the physical world face. Thus, it is possible to say that the current generation lives, collaborates, inhabits, co-inhabits, and inhabits-and-co-inhabits new spaces, made of and in the communities created, not living in one space, in one community, in one world and one universe.
