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

They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
