In this section I shall discuss briefly some more recent experiences I have had with teaching in virtual "classrooms" as part of the hypermedia in the humanities course offered by our department of applied linguistics at the University of Trondheim which I was responsible for in the Fall semester of 1995, called "Hypermedia: a tool in humanities studies". Since we did not have a functional MOO environment available for teaching purposes at our university, I negotiated with Ulf Kastner, one of the founders and developers of Diversity University, the use of the special rooms that he had developed for the ICDE conference at Diversity University MOO last summer. In order to make the MOO sessions that I was planning to incorporate in the course as realistic for my students as possible, I decided to hold these via the Internet from Italy, where I would be going in any case to take part in a conference in Bologna in the middle of the Fall semester. I arranged to extend the period of my stay abroad to three weeks, and planned six two-hour on-line sessions with the students into the developing course curriculum.
