title: Hypertext-based enhancement of medical and dental undergraduate learning.
abstract: The use of the microcomputer in medical education began about 1977. Since then man computer-assisted learning packages have been developed for preclinical and clinical subjects. The experiences of the authors with the Macintosh microcomputer in the development of courseware and tutorware on some aspects of Anatomy in the Department of Anatomy of the National University of Singapore are shared in the present paper. It describes how textual and instructive material can be prepared along with graphics support using a software called HYPERCARD (Apple Inc.). Elementary levels of animation can also be achieved. In this way it illustrates how a study of Anatomy, for example, can be made using the computer to "dissect" the human body.
