A non-"cyberspacish" author worth considering is George Leonard.
His EDUCATION AND ECSTACY (sorry, I've forgotten the year but know
it was in the early 70's) did a fair job on the concept of the 
"virtual classroom," in the larger context of reshaping the
learning experience.  I suspect he drew upon Ray Bradbury's famous
story, "The Veldt," in which a couple of steamed children lure
their parents into a lion-inhabited virtual playroom...and the
play stops here.
