| This project examines various methodologies for delivering online course content and centers specifically on what part MOOs (MUDs Object Oriented) play in the delivery. It examines various methods used by MOOs and how class material is presented in a MOO.;Several online distance learning sites were examined and common components built into a model that fits the current design for the School of Library and Information Science web page at San Jose State University. In addition, a model for the Libr 202 - Information Retrieval class was designed. The model uses web features that are already built into the class; however, two interactive components were added: a chat room and WOO software (Web MOO) sold commercially as The Palace. The free trial version was scripted to represent a study area for students to meet with the professor and TA for discussions on a database application called Inmagic. |
