**************************************************************
The January issue of _Computer Mediated Communication Magazine_
contains several articles by Netoric regulars, addressing several
topics that other Netoric participants have asked to discuss at
Tuesday Cafes this term. This week, we'd like to begin discussing
some of those topics, using the various _CMC_ articles as starting
points for the discussion. We'll begin with the article "MUDs in
Education: New Environments, New Pedagogies," which you can read
on the web at:
http://www.december.com/cmc/mag/1995/jan/fanderclai.html
That article discusses the problems of thinking of educational
MUDs in terms of traditional education and employing traditional
pedagogical methods to incorporate MUDs into the classroom, thereby
negating the unique learning experiences MUDs can offer. Of course,
we hope this discussion can be extended to other internet resources
we might use in our classes.
If you don't have web access, write to Tari, address below, to have
the article e-mailed to you. (Oh, and by all means show up even if
you don't have time to read the article--this discussion is certainly
bigger than just one article!)
See you Tuesday!
