Abstract
NoteCards, developed by a team at Xerox PARC, was designed to support the task of transforming a chaotic collection of unrelated thoughts into an integrated, orderly interpretation of ideas and their interconnections. This article presents NoteCards as a foil against which to explore some of the major limitations of the current generation of hypermedia systems, and characterizes the issues that must be addressed in designing the next generation systems.

Evaluating hypermedia-based learning

TL;DR: A multi-faceted approach to evaluating hypermedia-based learning with particular emphasis on the learning process is proposed, aimed at projects that assume that learning is a constructive process that includeds hands-on activities as well as traditional expository methods.

Cognitive media types for multimedia information access

TL;DR: Extensive empirical evaluations with undergraduate students suggest that self-paced interactive learning environments, coupled with multimedia information access and constructive activities organized into cognitive media types, can support and help students develop deep intuitions about important concepts in a given domain.

Concepts for Graph-Oriented Object Manipulation

TL;DR: In this article, a number of fundamental concepts for graph-oriented database user interfaces are proposed, such as querying, constraint specification, updating, restructuring, and schema transformation, by means of a uniform graph-transformation framework based on pattern matching.
