Social Innovations in Virtual Worlds With an Example from Second Life
Original language description
During the past few decades, virtual worlds have been developing and growing with increasing speed and relevance, as technology has become more advanced but also more accessible to large parts of the population. While most people associate the idea of a virtual world with the entertainment industry, some of the virtual worlds, such as Second Life, have proven to be a virtual space that can go beyond the boundaries of entertainment and can provide opportunities for education, training, counseling, or raising awareness about some important topics. The goal of this article will be to introduce the topic of social innovations in a virtual world and to connect this topic with terms such as social capital while reviewing available relevant literature resources and pointing out few examples of social innovations in Second Life. At the end of the article, there will be also recommendations for social policy, as we see virtual worlds as a tool that could eventually find its role within employment policies, social services, education, and other areas.
