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.
