| One of the things that is becoming quite apparent is that small-group discussion or collaborative activities would be impossible on a MOO. From what you say, the speed of the scrolling text, the sheer amount of text generated, and the chaotic nature of the interchange all would work against having students work in small groups. | |
| Good gracious, no. Not at all. MOOs are great for small-group work. You can divide your class up into several small groups and put them in separate rooms or have them sit at separate tables. Many MOOs have a feature that allows you to restrict student output to their table or room so that only the people with them can "hear" what they're saying. |
