What I know is that when players start a single player world that is really nice they share the seed number so others can play the same thing. The way to get the seed of your own randomly created world is to use /seed in-game. It will give you the number. If someone is using the same version of minecraft uses that seed they will get the same world.
For an initial experimental trial I can have two students sitting at one computer which I video record their co-present interaction. That the technologically simplest way. One, single player world with one temple seed. But I think it would be a richer task if done in multi-player model...even if it were just one 3-5 person team working on a single temple.
I know the game allows for a family playing on a home network .. there is a LAN option but I've never used it .. hmm let me start my laptop and experiment
ok, I can create a single player world and others using the same home/office/class network can connect to but each one will have to have their own minecraft account from what I can see. Everything went well until I tried to connect from my laptop to the game on my desktop while still connected there. It said sorry name is already taken.. I wonder if I can create a different user without an account..
I found the explanation on the official wiki, especially under the part under "World Generation" minecraft.gamepedia.com - Seed (level generation)
