HyperCourseware
HyperCourseware is a prototype electronic educational environment developed in 1990 by Kent Norman at the University of Maryland, College Park, to be used in an electronic classroom called the "Teaching Theater." It was first written in a HyperCard like language called "Plus" that ran on both the Macintosh platform and Windows. It is currently rewritten using HTML on a WebStar server and relies on FileMaker Pro databases.
