This is the first and only textbook that gives a comprehensive overview of educational MOOs. A combination text, tutorial, and reference book, this convenient resource guides students through the exciting and challenging world of synchronous Internet writing and learning environments. Students and teachers will find the material easy to understand as they write to learn with each other and with new friends from around the world. The text shows students how to use the dynamics of real situations to evoke authentic writing in which collaborative and individual learning are enhanced through conversation, research, real-time events, multimedia presentations, and other interactive activities. MOOniversity is an exciting complement to standard writing texts because it provides clear, useful instructions for writing online as well as productive assignments and discussion questions that involve students with the MOO technology by encouraging them to write in real-time with real people.

• Balanced and logical sequence of instruction for teachers and students new to educational MOOs.

• Explains how to join and participate in online writing communities and the realities of becoming part of a worldwide writing community.

• Offers a wider definition of writing than just the writing of essays; the text extends the definition of writing to include conversing, creating, building, programming, designing, narrating, and other forms of discursive activity.

• Information is designed for users on any platform, using any system, on most MOOs, via most conventional and more recent modes of access to MOOs.

• Helpful marginal icons throughout help students locate important information.

• Special attention is paid to users of enCore-based MOOs by elaborating on its specific features and offering special guides for those using enCore Xpress MOO client.

• Brief but comprehensive history of MUDs and MOOs gives context for how they evolved for educational and professional uses.

• Handy appendices provide a list of common commands, a glossary of terms, and a list of educational MOOs to which readers of MOOniversity may have access.

• Explores the benefit for ESL students of using MOOs to increase their fluency in English.

All chapters include one or more of the following: “Notes,” “Class Discussion,” and “Exercises.”
