Instructions on How to Use ScienceMOO
(Important note: to move back a room,
you can always right click with your mouse,
and then choose "back")
How to use
ScienceMOO
1. ScienceMOO is a
collaborative virtual learning environment .
ScienceMOO is very similar to a chat program
but it actually has many more features and
educational tools that make it suited to
teaching and learning online. ScienceMOO is
located at http://sciencemoo.org:7001.
2. Print out these directions
before you use ScienceMOO for the first time
3. Check your e-mail account .
You should find an email with a subject "Your
ScienceMOO character" This email will have
your username and password for ScienceMOO. If
you do have a problem connecting with this
username, you can also connect to ScienceMOO
as a guest. Guests do not need a password.
4. Make sure that you read the MOOniversity
LITE
BEGINNER'S
GUIDE TO MOOING
5. Use your web browser to visit
http://sciencemoo.org:7001
6. Enter your ScienceMOO User ID
and Password and then click the Log In button.
7. You may have to wait a minute
or two while you are connected. If you have a
problem, go to http://sciencemoo.org:7001
and try again. You can also send me email at
brian.murfin@qc.cuny.edu. If you still have a
problem and can't connect with the User ID and
Password, go again and Log In as a Guest (you
don't need a password). You could also
try using a different web browser if you have
problems. ScienceMOO works well with the
following web browsers: Internet
Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla, and
Konqueror.
8. Once you have logged in you
should see the following:
1. a row of purple buttons at the top of the
page.
2. a large window to the right (this is the
WEB WINDOW). You can click on links or objects
in this window.
3. a large window to the left (this is the
TEXT WINDOW) Here you will see the chat that
is going on, and text descriptions of
everything that is happening in ScienceMOO.
9. Finally, you will see a small
window at the bottom. (this is the INPUT
WINDOW). This is where you type when you are
chatting. Notice the three radio buttons on
the right of the INPUT WINDOW. When the "say"
radio button is checked you can type in chat.
Everything you type is prefixed by thze word
"say" and everyone else will see what you
type. If you check the radio button next to
"normal" you can type MOO commands, e.g. look
me (this will tell you what you look like) or
look here (you will see a decription of the
room. ) You can also chat with the "normal"
radio button checked, you just have to type
the word "say" before everything. The other
radio button "emote" allows you to enter body
language, e.g. smiling, etc. Don't worry about
emoting for this first lesson.
10. Look in the WEB WINDOW on the
right. You will see that you are in a room
called the ENCORE STARTING POINT.
You can now click on links in the WEB WINDOW
to move to different rooms, or to examine
objects.
How to Use
Tables In the Classroom in ScienceMOO
1. Click on the the link to your
classroom.
2. You have now entered a
classroom. If you look at the decription of
the classroom, you will see that there are
tables in the room.
3. Click the radio button next to
"normal" in the lower left. Now type the
command to sit at a table. For example, if you
wanted to sit at table2, type
* sit table2
4. Now you are seated at a table.
The reason we use tables in ScienceMOO is that
it reduces the chaos when we are doing a small
group discussion activity. The "normal" radio
button is still checked. You can chat with
everyone else at your table only while you are
seated by typing the word 'say' followed by
any text you want to type. You need to hit the
enter key before others will see your chat.
Remember: the word "say" always has to precede
any text you type when you are chatting.
5. If you want to speak to the
instructor, or to the whole class you have two
options: 1) You can use the 'speakup' command,
i.e. type
* speakup hey there everyone in the class,
this is an announcement that everyone can see
6. OR you can stand and then just
type 'say' followed by your text, i.e.
1. stand
2. say hey there everyone in the class, this
is an announcement that everyone can see
7. Hopefully by now you are
comfortable sitting and standing (make sure
the 'normal' radio button is checked) and you
know how to chat. You just have to make sure
that the word 'say' is in front of everything.
you can type in 'say' when the 'normal radio
button is checked' or if you check the 'say'
radio button, the word 'say' is automatically
typed for you.
