* Multimedia: Filmmaker George Lucas said he is forming a multimedia educational company, Lucas Learning Ltd., to make children’s products for home and school. He named Susan Schilling as general manager. She was formerly senior vice president and creative director at MECC, a developer and publisher of educational software. Lucas said the new company will be an extension of his entertainment multimedia venture, LucasArts Entertainment, which produces computer games. Lucas’ previous multimedia efforts include the award-winning CD-ROM “The Mystery of the Disappearing Ducks: A Paul Parkranger Mystery,” which won a Cindy Award for special achievement in instructional design, and the CD-ROM “GTV: A Geographic Perspective on American History,” which was selected by Technology & Learning magazine as one of the top five educational software programs for 1990-91.
