The use of MOOs in education is an international venture, as Avigail Oren of the Tel Aviv University School of Education Knowledge Techology Lab can attest. Oren has teamed up with others on Grassroots MOO to create the Jerusalem space and prove that "MOOing is More than Writing." On Grassroots MOO, students from all over the world can share and compare their cultures, and collaborate on projects. Oren provides us with some helpful theory on why MOOs are appropriate for education, what MOOs are, and ties the use of MOO to constructionist theory of knowledge-building and information literacy.

Not just college classes have tapped the potential of MOOs and MUDs; according to Howard Rheingold in his personal essay "MariMUSE: Online Fantasy Worlds Benefit Inner City School," students in the Phoenix schools are also practicing their communication skills and exercising their imaginations in virtual worlds.
