Abstract

Multi-User Dialogues (or Dungeons), (MUDs) provide a convenient, low-cost vehicle for conducting software engineering seminars and project work with a diverse, geographically distributed group of students. We couple the MUD metaphor with a powerful management simulation engine to provide students experience with different scenarios typical within software engineering management.

Supported by an equipment grant from The Pennsylvania State University.
