Spring 2005 Classes
The MOO Pedagogy Seminar meets Tuesday, February 1 and Thursday, February 3 from 10-11:30am. This class will cover how to use the MOO in your class as a discussion space, how to build in the MOO and get students building, and the basics of MOO programming. This seminar is pedagogically oriented, but discussions of other research with the MOO is certainly included within the dynamics of teaching in the MOO.
