Abstract :
In this paper, the authors discuss the design and development of computer assisted studies planning and educational resources (CASPER). CASPER is a hypermedia information system that allows students to find up-to-date information on courses, instructors, announcements, transfer credit, and frequently asked questions. One of the most important features of CASPER is its capability to assist students in planning their course selections for future terms. Because CASPER is an online system, additional human counselors are free to deal personally with students on less routine matters
