Abstract
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a hypertext‐based digital tutor to assist in teaching concepts and techniques of geographic information systems (GIS) and to help students learn how to apply GIS concepts using commercially available software. The paper outlines the teaching environment that led us to conceive the digital tutor, explains the design and prototyping, introduces the tutor's capabilities, and shares insights gained from using this innovative teaching aid and from evaluating students’ and instructors’ responses over a two‐term period.
