3DCV has been involved in creating and evolving 3dCU from inception. This innovative learning space grew from a basic replication of Carleton’s campus to include cultural artifacts, a downtown core, a residential section, an orientation maze, teleporting functions, games, and several non-traditional, outdoor learning areas. The ongoing design process has been informed by theory, practice, and collaborative research; this space is intended to help foster interactive, collaborative, and experiential learning.

Collectively we demonstrate that 3DVCs can be used as a learning tool by providing a virtual space with the following advantages:

• It allows people in different locations to interact.
• It gives users access to facilities not available physically.
• It enables activities that are not possible in physical settings.
• It offers a variety of observation and measurement tools for performance evaluation and improvement.
