Place is important for human memory and for social life of a learning community. Virtual places have the advantage of flexible creation and modification and therefore can be used for capturing and storing histories and activities in a learning community. In this paper we describe the design of a Collaborative Virtual Environment, Viras, as a repository of virtual places, serving as a community memory, and present the results of the empirical evaluation.
