Request for material: MUDs in education
Good evening: I am looking for literature (both peer reviewed and non reviewed) on educational uses of MUDs and/or their implications for education (access, issues and anything else you can think of) Thanks Carlos -- Carlos E.

There's the following on MOO's, which I assume you're interested in too: Cynthia Haynes and Jan Rune Holmevik, edited a book "_High Wired_: On the Design, and Theory of Educational MOOs" --the foreword is written by Sherry Turkle (known as Margaret Mead of Cyberspace) --published my "The University of Michigan Press" (1998) The book is an indispensable guide to the technical, pedagogical, and theoretical aspects of educational MOOs (Multiple-user, Object Oriented environments). It contains essays by scholars such as, Amy Bruckman, Cynthia Haynes, Pavel Curtis, Eric Crump, Juli Burk, Beth Kolko, Jan Rune Holmevik, Michael Joyce; the writers have expressed several aspects of MOO, its concepts and contexts, How to use and administer MOO, educational & professional use of MOOs and MOO meditations. It is a comprehensive treatment of the MOOs, for the benefit of teachers, students and researchers. This publication can be used as textbook, a reference book and a handbook. MOOs can be used as online writing centers, electronic classrooms, netbased collborative environments, and even complete cyberspace campuses. ................Alex Kuskis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carlos Araya" <werewolf25@earthlink.net> To: <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 1:49 AM Subject: [Air-l] Request for material: MUDs in education
