    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

    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.

    MOOs as well as specific information on use of MOOs in education and more.
