Chronology

Glossary

Hypertext
A composition that links pieces of information (often referred to as 'nodes') together into complex, interactive webs.

MOO
A Multiple User Dimension (MUD) Object Oriented-- A MUD that is programed through the creation of objects (See MUD). Varietions on MOO include Multiple User Shared Halucination (MUSH); often multiple-user environments are shortened as MU* ("M-U Splat") to include their different names.

MUD
A Multiple User Dimenstion (or Dungeon)-- A (usually text-based) virtual environment in which many users can interact with many others (as opposed to one-to-one). Though first created for gaming, MUDs have been demonstrated to have vast potential as learning environments where users must use language to interact with others.
