LC_MOO is a Faculty of Science and Agriculture e-learning environment supported by the School of Information Studies and hosted on the Internet Special Project Group (ISPG) server at Charles Sturt University This venture oversees collaborative research and development (R&D) projects, including online communities, e-learning, and extension. The main focus of the venture involves R&D projects using polysynchronous communication tools. If you have the right software such as a MOO client or late version Web browser, then you can browse the sites.

Rochester Castle MMORPG was funded by the Research into Professional Practice, Learning and Education (RIPPLE) research centre at Charles Sturt University as instructional gaming project that seeks to develop, test and investigate the use of massively-multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) based on the authors’ existing work with virtual learning environments. The research team was formed within the Internet Special Project Group at Charles Sturt University after an approach by Leah Irving from TAFE WA to develop, test and investigate the use of a collaborative role play game (MMORPG) with the assistance of Dianne Hobbs and Mark Weber (Technology Coordinator) at the host site at Swan View Senior High School. The researchers believe that the overlap between computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and games design theories can now be tested and applied to high school teaching practice, due to the large uptake of Internet access in schools.

K9 is an experimental canine campus for learning to use and program a MOO via the enCore Xpress Java applets. K9 is a sandpit.

AussieMOO is our original MOO - still running since 21 September 1994.

CSCW and groupware architecture using MOO as the cornerstone

Two new subjects about Computer supported collaboartive work and the development of electronic learning communities are being taught by a team of information technology and teacher librarianship lecturers at Charles Sturt University. The following file will give you some general details about the underlying technical archtecture: http://farrer.csu.edu.au/moo/jv/groupware.html
