Certainly, virtual training suites are clearly an easy area in which
MU*s can be used to generate test situations - but this is more a
flat-based construction with little dynanicism or evolution
contained within - the system could have been appropriated in any
number of mediums. But I take the point that EduMuds can be created,
if not static in nature and for a closed audience.
