Abstract

HYPERTEXT DOCUMENTS have the potential to be a new type of instructional resource that will be an effective supplement to linear text and existing methods of instruction. In this paper we describe the Jefferson Notebook system for creating and using hypertext instructional resources. We first describe the Project Jefferson model of integrated research and instruction and then describe some of the functionalities of the Jefferson Notebook software that is based on this model. We then discuss some of the authoring features contained in the Jefferson software. It is concluded that the Jefferson Notebook authoring system provides a method for building instructional resources within a comprehensive environment for research and writing.
