| | Constructing the Virtual Campus |
 | | Even in more academic MOOs, one finds people who spend many hours a day logged in, and people who will invest hundreds of hours in acquiring self-taught expertise in the MOO programming language, in order to create interesting, useful, or entertaining objects for themselves and the others. |
 | | The purpose of PMC- MOO was to provide a real-time channel for interaction among readers and authors of Postmodern Culture, and also to provide an opportnity to program object lessons in postmodern theory. |
 | | In all three MOOs, space is a more or less arbitrary construct: one may arrange the network of spaces that constitutes the MOO according to the compass of three-dimensional space (with north, south, east, west, up, down), but one may as easily arrange spaces according to topics, themes, or any other scheme one desires. |
