Constructing the Virtual Campus
Author(s): John Unsworth
Tags: Jan, 1994
Abstract: This paper is about my experience in constructing three text-based virtual worlds; it is also, to some extent, about the mapping of those worlds as expressive, pedagogical, and disciplinary "spaces"--or, one might better say, texts.. The first of these text-spaces was the virtual campus at North Carolina State University, on which I taught two courses; the second is PMC-MOO, sponsored by the electronic journal Postmodern Culture as a conference facility/slash/theme-park on the topic of postmodernism, formerly hosted at NC State, now moved with me to the University of Virginia; the third is a conference facility-cum-reading room for the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities.
