Hyperbooks in engineering education

Abstract

The use of hypermedia in computerized school-books, hyperbooks, makes it easy to connect several subjects. This paper shows how hyperbooks for some subjects in Engineering Education can be used together in a hyperlibrary. Several teachers are working together in the development of computer-aided teaching material. Animations are used to visualize different parts of the subjects, both in theory parts and examples. Simulation programs are used to give the students an understanding of a system's behaviour.<>
