The High Wired Project and Lingua MOO are proud to announce the BETA 
release of the first publicly available educational MOO Core Database, 
EduCore. EduCore, is a constructivist virtual reality environment 
designed for educational use. It is based on the Feb 02 1997 version of 
the original LambdaCore Database, and supplemented with a number of 
useful educational tools such as:

Generic Recording and Intercom System, Generic Moderated Room,Generic 
Classroom, Generic Bot, Generic Slide Projector, Generic Video Camera, 
Generic VCR, Generic TV, Generic Video Tape, Ken's MOO Programming 
Tutorial, Generic Recitable Note, Generic Lecture, Generic Web Page 
Generic Web Projector, Generic Recorder and Player, and Generic Note 
Board.

The EduCore also comes with a built-in web-interface, support for client 
interfaces such as the Java-based Surf & Turf interface, and MacMOOSE, in 
addition to numerous other features and enhancements. 

The EduCore will be complemented by our book _High Wired: On the Design 
Use, and Theory of Educational MOOs_ forthcoming from University of 
Michigan Press in December 1997. 
(http://www.press.umich.edu/bookhome/highmoo/index.html) In this book you 
will find more in-depth information about the use and administration of 
MOOs as well as specific information on use of MOOs in education and more.

The EduCore-BETA is available for immediate download from:
