New Web 3.0 capabilities for learners include enhanced tools for managing learning, allowing them to [[Self-regulated learning|self-regulate]] and [[Co-regulation|co-regulate]] learning without the assistance of an instructor.<ref name=":2" /> Through the use of Web 3.0, groups and communities can be formed according to specific criteria without human input. These communities and groups can provide support to new learners and give experts an opportunity to share their knowledge.<ref name=":2" />

==== Virtual Learning Communities  ====

Virtual learning communities are [[Cyberspace|cyberspaces]] that allow for individual and [[collaborative learning]] to take place. While they exist today, with Web 3.0 they will gain enhanced features enabling more collaborative learning to take place. Some describe them as evolving out of existing [[Learning management system|learning management systems]] (LMSs), adding intelligent agents and virtual assistants that can enhance content searches and deal with administrative and communication tasks<ref name=":5" />, or enabling different LMSs around the world to communicate with each other, creating an even larger community to share resources and locate potential collaborators.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ribón|first=Julio César Rodríguez|last2=Villalba|first2=Luis Javier García|last3=Kim|first3=Tai-hoon|date=2015-10-01|title=Virtual learning communities: unsolved troubles|url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11042-013-1543-4|journal=Multimedia Tools and Applications|language=en|volume=74|issue=19|pages=8505–8519|doi=10.1007/s11042-013-1543-4|issn=1380-7501}}</ref> Virtual learning communities will also enable different types of peer-to-peer interaction and resource sharing to support co-construction of knowledge.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Yang|first=Stephen J.H.|date=2006|title=Context Aware Ubiquitous Learning Environments for Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Learning|url=httphttps://www.jstor.org/stable/jeductechsoci.9.1.188|journal=Journal of Educational Technology & Society|volume=9|issue=1|pages=188–201|doi=10.2307/jeductechsoci.9.1.188}}</ref> These communities may also include some aspects of 3D gaming and VR.
