Critiques/explorations of avatar virtual worlds


Each week the class divides into several groups, and over the course of a week these groups spend time in a particular avatar virtual world system, e.g. Traveler, ActiveWorlds, blaxxun, etc. During their time in-world, students are encouraged to think critically about their experiences, using a set of guidelines which we are developing. At the end of the week, each group submits a document summarizing the impressions its members had of that world. These documents are collected here, and listed by client software.
