MOO sites

  • Literary Worlds: Site developed at Western Michigan University of virtual worlds related to literary texts On this site, students can enter into and engage in synchronous chat about frequently taught texts such as Brave New World, Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, and 1984.  For example, in responding to 1984, students can play role-play game, Thoughtcrime, in which students assume the roles of Party Members, Brotherhood, and Thought Police who interact with each other using: special commands (such as vaporize, recruit, or betray) as well as tools drawn from the lexicon of the novel (including telescreens, memory holes, and notes).  A student role-playing a member of the Thought Police, for example, can type vaporize Smith to  eliminate the student playing Winston Smith; he may also type monitor telescreen to eavesdrop on conversations occurring in rooms with telescreens (Rozema & Webb, 2008, pp. 82-83).
