Abstract

In recent years, the rapid expansion of new technologies fostered the development of new models for online group aggregation, such as virtual communities, social networks, and collaboration tools. This chapter provides an overview about the development of the SCIENAR virtual community, a social network capable of strengthening the role of the “artistic-scientific” community in the production of new science and new art. In particular, the key role played by the usability evaluation has been highlighted through the implementation of a product suitable to ­different final users in order to bring out potentialities and eventual critical areas.
