Missions for EVO Minecraft MOOC 2022

Update from 2021 to 2022 is in progress. Please be patient through the first week of August

Who are we?

Many of our participants are teachers, particularly language teachers, but some enjoy online gaming as a way of improving their English as a second language. Some of us are young, some of us are not so young, but all of us are young at heart :-) 

EVO stands for Electronic Village Online. A MOOC is a Massively Open Online Course. In this MOOC we explore the multi-player game Minecraft as a virtual world for learning.
