A new development in computer-assisted medical education has been the introduction of hypertext authoring systems. Authoring systems are computer programs that can allow an instructor to prepare computer-based medical educational materials without the need to know programming languages. Hypertext is a database management system that lets the user connect screens of information using associative links. The authors developed a hypertext authoring system for teaching their medical students the domain of oncology. The features of the system are hierarchical structure, index browsing, and nonsequential browsing. Moreover, the student may become a writer of a hyperdocument by typing a few script commands. In this way the hierarchical structure of a document meets the needs of the reader. Although hypertext brings with it a few difficulties for the student, the authors expect that the system will become a popular mean for organizing textual information for retrieval and browsing in oncology.
计算机辅助医学教育的一项新进展是引入了超文本创作系统。创作系统是一种计算机程序，它能使教师无需了解编程语言就能编写基于计算机的医学教育材料。超文本是一种数据库管理系统，它允许用户使用关联链接连接信息屏幕。作者开发了一个超文本创作系统，用于向医学生教授肿瘤学领域的知识。该系统的特点是具有层次结构、索引浏览和非顺序浏览功能。此外，学生通过输入一些脚本命令就可以成为超文档的作者。这样，文档的层次结构就能满足读者的需求。尽管超文本给学生带来了一些困难，但作者预计该系统将成为组织肿瘤学文本信息以供检索和浏览的一种流行手段。
