Hypermedia in the Humanities by Marilyn Deegan, Nicola Timbrell and Lorraine Warren Oxford University and Hull University ITTI Projects This book aims to be as introductory and non-technical as possible. It starts with the definition of some of the basic concepts of hypermedia and gives a brief summary of the history of the topic. It contains the results of a survey on the present use of hypermedia in the humanities. The process of authoring is covered: the tasks involved in putting together hypermedia products, the acquisition and formats of the various constituent media, and some of the currently popular authoring packages. Some assessment, both by teachers and students, of the use of hypermedia in the classroom is included. A great deal of practical information about on-going projects and finished products is given.
