 High
Wired: On the Design, Use and Theory of Educational MOOs:
(eds.)
A collection of essays designed to integrate all aspects of the
use and administration of the virtual educational communities
known as MOOs (Multiple-user, Object-Oriented environments). High
Wired's essays are arranged in a practical sequence, beginning
with the context and history of MOOs, followed by more technical
essays on how to set up and administer a MOO. Subsequent essays
discuss applications for the use of MOOs in education, and finally,
provide theoretical explorations of the nature of MOO communities.
High Wired is at once a textbook, a reference book, and a handbook.
