Current computers can create and display documents that incorporate a variety of audiovisual media, and can be organized to allow the user, guided by curiosity and not by a fixed path through the material, to move through the information in non-linear pathways. These hypermedia documents and the concept of hypertext offer significant new possibilities for the creation of educational materials for the biomedical sciences. If the full capabilities of the computer are to be used to enhance the educational experience for learners, computer professionals need to collaborate with publishing and teaching professionals. Biomedical communications professionals can and should play a role in establishing and evaluating hypermedia documents for medical education.
当前的计算机能够创建并显示包含各种视听媒体的文档，而且这些文档可以进行组织，以便用户在好奇心而非固定浏览路径的引导下，以非线性方式浏览信息。这些超媒体文档以及超文本概念为生物医学科学教育材料的创建提供了重要的新可能性。若要充分利用计算机的功能来提升学习者的教育体验，计算机专业人员需要与出版和教学专业人员合作。生物医学传播专业人员能够且应该在建立和评估用于医学教育的超媒体文档方面发挥作用。
