This activity is designed to explore a variety of web-based tools, giving one an opportunity to learn about emerging technology, its strengths, weaknesses and educational uses.

Internet Relay Chat


Internet Relay Chats encourage the informal style of the spoken word rather than the formal style of written language. This activity will introduce you to the fundamentals of Internet Relay Chats, providing an understanding of how this technology functions.

 

Activity Multi-user-Domains and Multi-User-Domain   Object Oriented


This activity will introduce you to Multi user domains where you can conduct synchronous activities and facilitate discussion about the potential uses of this technology in the classroom.  It also gives a brief description of the activity and a link to the activity's directory in the World Links' Collaboration Center.  MUDs (Multi-user-domains) and MOOs (Multi-User Domain Object Oriented) offer an interesting alternative to the synchronous communication of Internet Relay Chats. These communication media are derived from computer applications that allow multiple users to connect via the Internet to a shared database of rooms and other objects and interact with each other and the database in synchronous time.
