There's the following on MOO's, which I assume you're interested in too:

Cynthia Haynes and Jan Rune
Holmevik, edited a book "_High Wired_: On the Design, and Theory of
Educational MOOs" --the foreword is written by Sherry Turkle (known as
Margaret Mead of Cyberspace) --published my "The University of Michigan
Press" (1998) The book is an indispensable guide to the technical,
pedagogical, and theoretical aspects of educational MOOs (Multiple-user,
Object Oriented environments). It contains essays by scholars such as, Amy
Bruckman, Cynthia Haynes, Pavel Curtis, Eric Crump, Juli Burk, Beth Kolko,
Jan Rune Holmevik, Michael Joyce; the writers have expressed several
aspects of MOO, its concepts and contexts, How to use and administer MOO,
educational & professional use of MOOs and MOO meditations. It is a
comprehensive treatment of the MOOs, for the benefit of teachers, students
and researchers. This publication can be used as textbook, a reference
book and a handbook. MOOs can be used as online writing centers,
electronic classrooms, netbased collborative environments, and even
complete cyberspace campuses.
