Abstract
ABASE is a Hypercard-based interactive tutorial program. It is designed to help first year medical students to repair their misconceptions, enrich their knowledge, and integrate what they already know about the major physiological mechanisms involved in acid base regulation. ABASE includes seven problems for the students to solve and four interactive tutorials written as hypercard stacks. It features hypertext, animated summaries, graphical testing routines, and an electronic dictionary. A small scale authoring system - the ABASE EDITOR is included to provide the instructor with the ability to expand, maintain, and customize ABASE for a particular student group or course.
This paper describes the ABASE program itself, and the authoring system (the ABASE Editor).
