hypertextbooks and a hypertextbook authoring environment
An ITiCSE 2006 working group explored the prospect of deploying educational visualizations (e.g., algorithm visualizations) in hypertextbooks [10]. In this paper we present our continuing work on a hypertextbook project that demonstrates the viability of many of the issues raised in that workshop. The project has two thrusts: (1) the authoring of hypertextbooks for specific academic subjects, and (2) the creation of an authoring environment for prospective hypertextbook authors. The status of both is discussed in detail. It is anticipated that the success of the project as well as access to the authoring environment will inspire the creation of more active-learning hypertextbooks covering many academic subjects.
