Types
There are various kinds of knowledge environments:
- Socio-technological environments, e.g. Virtual Learning Environments, of which the goal is collaborative knowledge building
- Learning environments where the main goal of the participants is to gain some kind of knowledge, skill, or conceptual clarity
- Virtual environments incorporating communities of participation in, e.g., political processes
- Creative or experimental environments in which knowledge is constructed by means of collaborative authoring of text, but even non-verbal, e.g. audiovisual content
- Online simulations of ecology, economy, or society
- Knowledge-intensive gaming environments
- Communication environments where the main goal of the participants is to transmit to each other some signals or information related to the activities and behavior being generated in that environment.
- Decisional environments where the main goal of the participants is to share knowledge and opinions such that decision options are generated and choices made.
- Operating environments where the knowledge environment is a support or enabler for the actual process or physical work being carried out

Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”

“Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
