In other words, you can create your own Multimedia with HyperStudio. Multimedia means creating a document or program that uses several distinct media. Text is a medium.
Graphics are a medium.
Sound is a medium. The theory is, the more media, the more appealing and interesting your document or program. Of course, too much of a good thing can indeed be too much, but as the author of a HyperStudio stack, you can make sure that your document uses the right balance of media. A HyperStudio document is referred to as a stack. SLN has committed to providing HyperStudio on the Hosmer Lab computers and on the classroom computers of Hosmer teachers.
