Özet
In this study, a team building Multi User Virtual Environment (MUVE) is designed specifically for professional teams to practice and improve communication and collaboration skills in a relaxed, non-task related, game like environment. Web.alive platform is used as MUVE.The game "Zoom", by Istvan Banyai, that is used for improving team building skills in real life is adapted into this environment. The game is applied to a pilot group. The results are promising, implying that MUVEs can be substituted for face-to-face played serious games and organizations can benefit from these environments. © 2012 The Authors.
