prospective students and so on. In the context of the Virtual Campus, the CVW will play several different roles, since it has several functions. These roles are: providing support for constructing (via workplace and library), providing support for presenting (via stage) and providing awareness (via gallery). Among these roles, the CVW can also be used as a meeting place and as a socializing place. Conclusions and future work In this paper we present and describe two case studies that were conducted in the Virtual Campus of NTNU. The paper describes the settings and the initial results of these case studies. Gathered empirical data and the students’ direct feedback allowed us to analyze how effective virtual worlds are for supporting educational and social activities. Participants’ comments and suggestions were discussed in light of how to develop and improve the campus. Future work will include further development and extension of the Virtual Campus of NTNU. The major directions of the development will be recreation of several recognizable buildings of the physical campus and setting up facilities for lecturing and other educational activities. This includes in particular designing a Project gallery/CVW for supporting creation, demonstration, storing and retrieval of student projects as well as for supporting collaborative work on 3D educational content in general. In addition to using the Virtual Campus for exercises and lectures for students at NTNU and cooperating universities, we plan to use the Campus as a venue for an international Summer School as a part of EU FP7 TARGET project.
