The authors discuss three different approaches in pursuing learning activities in real educational contexts. The considered approaches are different in the sense of the metaphor used. The approaches related to LMSs follow the metaphor of \u201ccourse\u201d, while in the approaches related with web 2.0 technologies (like Facebook\u2122, Twitter\u2122, Flickr\u2122 etc), the founding metaphor is the individual with its social networks. Finally, the third approach has its building blocks in the idea of (virtual) community and virtual communities systems, where the core paradigm of the platform is the (virtual) community that offers specialized services for the purpose of the community to the enrolled members, and where the subject is just a participant that adheres to the rules of the community, with duties, rights, tasks to do and objectives to achieve. The authors will discuss all these three approaches, the different levels of applicability in learning settings, and specifically the potential of the virtual communities-based system that they adopted in the experimentations conducted in the last ten years.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jdet.2013070103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,3]],"date-time":"2013-09-03T16:18:25Z","timestamp":1378225105000},"page":"32-46","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["ICT-Enabled Learning Settings"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Luigi","family":"Colazzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Management Sciences, University of Trento, Trento, Italy"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Molinari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Management Sciences, University of Trento, Trento, Italy"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Vill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Maieutics, University of Trento,Trento, Italy"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jdet.2013070103-0","author":"C.Anderson","year":"2006","journal-title":"The long tail: How endless choice is creating unlimited demand"},{"issue":"2","key":"jdet.2013070103-1","article-title":"Friends, friendsters and mySpace Top 8: Writing community into being on social network sites.","volume":"11","author":"D.Boyd","year":"2006","journal-title":"First Monday"},{"issue":"4","key":"jdet.2013070103-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"619","DOI":"10.1177\/106591290505800409","article-title":"Working on the democratic imagination and the limits of deliberative democracy.","volume":"58","author":"S.
