Abstract

Multimedia and hypermedia electronic books can be used to provide information presentation environments of considerable pedagogic richness. However, the design and fabrication of such books requires the application of well‐founded models and design guidelines. This paper describes and discusses a number of basic page structure models which can be applied to the design of electronic books. Using these models it is possible to design effective and efficient knowledge and information transfer mechanisms for use in teaching and training applications. Some case studies illustrating the use of these models are then presented.
