Hypermedia in biomedical education: a case study.
The origination, development and application of a hypermedia system for use in the life sciences is described. Implemented in the Apple Macintosh HyperCard environment, the project has been designed to make use of commercially produced laser discs as visual archives and has included the production of authoring and navigational tools. We report here on our experience in authoring stacks for undergraduate teaching, monitoring of student use and assessment of effectiveness as a self-teaching resource. Future developments and applications within the biomedical sciences are discussed.
