HyperCard authoring tool: For presentations, tutorials & information exploration

by Dennis Myers

HyperCard Authoring Tool HyperCard is an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use authoring tool. You can learn to make your presentations come alive with pictures and words just like you do with transparencies. But rather than being limited to a linear sequence, HyperCard gives you access to a wealth of information to expand your presentation or answer questions. You can also learn to make instructional materials that your students can use completely on their own. The computer can guide students through instruction and post testing. Think about how great it would be for your students to learn new material with little or no assistance from you. What is Desktop Instruction? Desktop Instruction refers to computer-based instructional materials created and implemented using only the computer. No longer are paper-and-pencil planning and testing needed. No longer do you need to develop separate worksheets, transparencies, slides, and other materials for instruction. No longer do you need cumbersome paper-and-pencil management systems to track learners. The entire instructional process, from planning and pretesting through instruction and evaluation, can be done on the computer.
