In the following page I am going to introduce the educational potential of a MOO that results in its being a dynamic database. I prefer to emphasize the knowledge creation process and not only the writing one. The belief that some skills like mapping and linking are part of information literacy that should be imparted to students. In order to broaden its educational prospects, I suggset treating a MOO as a database.
Students create databases in a process of accumulating and classifying knowledge.
Let me relate these strategies to the educational use of a MOO, which in my opinion might be used in both strategies. In the second mode, the creative one, students build spaces through textual descriptions. The process of creation demands accumulation of information, classification and knowledge processing.
