Course Details:

13 week course on Immersive environments
This is a 13 week course with one grade ( which will be given redundantly for each module - i.e. if you get a b+ for the whole course, you'll get a B+ for all 3 modules). There is nothing special about tech week as far as this course is concerned. In these 13 weeks you will learn about 3d virtual and multi-user environments cuminating in working as a team to produce a significant virtual community project.

Class Project
This course will culminate in a significant virtual community project that the class picks to support. Most of the last 8 weeks will be the production phase of creating this project. Most of the first 3 weeks will be learning enough about virtual worlds and the possible project we can take on as an intergrate class.

CMS and WebX
We will not be using the CMS for this class, instead we will be using this website. We will be using CMS discussion boards ( called webX). Those borads and discussion will be linked from this site.

General Class Related Questions
Use the general Q&A web board to ask questions general to how the class operates. Other discussion boards have to do with specific course related discussions.
