Abstract:
The computer hypertext system which is described is being used at Birmingham dental hospital to complement the undergraduate training programme in orthodontics. The system is a database of orthodontic information which can be accessed and read in any order. Text screens are linked to numerous graphic images, many of which are interactive. Associated question routines provide a means for student self assessment. The scores from these routines are used to give feedback on student performance and the efficacy of teaching methods. A strength of the programme is the ease of authoring material for inclusion in the database.
