TLDR
A survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.Abstract:
This article is a survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design. It is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and, at a deeper cut, a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment. The concept of hypertext is quite simple: Windows on the screen are associated with objects in a database, and links are provided between these objects, both graphically (as labelled tokens) and in the database (as pointers). But this simple idea is creating much excitement. Several universities have created laboratories for research on hypertext, many articles have been written about the concept just within the last year, and the Smithsonian Institute has created a demonstration laboratory to develop and display hypertext technologies.read more

A spectrum of automatic hypertext constructions
TL;DR: The authors describe their experiences with four separate conversions from paper documents into hypertext and discuss the lessons they have learned from the conversion process, including the impact of the paper document's organization on the ease with which hypertext can be converted.

Student learning preferences and the impact of a multimedia learning tool in the dissection course at the University of Munich.
TL;DR: It is shown that medical students use anatomic multimedia learning tools primarily as an additional medium for learning, and thus lead to the conclusion that the main learning media are still textbooks and anatomic atlases.

PROXHY: a process-oriented extensible hypertext architecture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new architecture for hypertext environments, which merges the process, object-oriented, and hypertext models to provide hypertext services to object-based, distributed, application components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between prior knowledge and concept-map structure on hypertext comprehension, coherence of reading orders and disorientation
TL;DR: Comprehension was investigated analyzing jointly three dependent variables: comprehension outcomes, coherence of the reading sequences and feelings of disorientation, and the results supported most of the assumptions showing an interaction effect on each measure.

Dilemmas in a general theory of planning
TL;DR: The search for scientific bases for confronting problems of social policy is bound to fail, becuase of the nature of these problems as discussed by the authors, whereas science has developed to deal with tame problems.
