What is MUPPETS ? Through capitalizing on research in the areas of gaming and virtual community social psychology, RIT is engaged in a project to develop a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) entitled “The Multi-User Programming Pedagogy for Enhancing Traditional Study” (MUPPETS). The MUPPETS system will be aimed specifically at engaging upper-division students in the education of lower-division students through their first-year programming core. The MUPPETS team is building upon existing research and technical developments in the field to design and construct a CVE and supporting infrastructure that allows students to write very simple Java® code similar to, and constructed around the same pedagogical issues as, code written in a more traditional course of first year study. As part of the MUPPETS system, however, this code can now control objects in a shared virtual world very much like an online massively-multiplayer game that many prospective students are already familiar with. Upper level students also populate the system in a structure of their own, and this population will be aimed at encouraging and rewarding student engagement and peer knowledge-transmission.
