Abstract :
This work presents the lifestyle of a "dream university" of the future, digitalized out of a real university campus. This "dream university" is actually a multipurpose digital campus facilitating for a better e-learning environment as the core of the research. It is an elaborate digital campus created with virtual collaborative environment in 3D system in the virtual world where users can learn and experience the campus life of the university while collaborating with other users involved. We propose all the available features that the digital campus can provide and discuss the points that have been proven to be advantageous for the users. Our goal is to create a dream university on the Web so that anybody can participate anytime, anywhere, depending upon his/her needs, removing all the barriers and solving problems involved in the real university.
