Abstract
The terms hypertext and hypermedia are becoming very well-known in computing literature. More and more software packages that have the look and feel of hypermedia systems are coming into the market and their use is set to increase rapidly. But there has been very little work done on the effectiveness of such interfaces in teaching and learning. This paper reports on a project being undertaken at t h e University of Southampton to evaluate a hypermedia system that has been developed for use in education. The project concentrates particularly on the integration of graphics and video information into the system, and has been applied to an area of biology education.
