Abstract

This paper describes a Distributed Hypermedia Educational System (DHES) that applies the most current distributed hypermedia technologies for instructional delivery. The system provides more realistic learning environment than that are currently available in all the electronic educational systems. It offers the advantages of simulated face-to-face interaction as well as self-learning. The system incorporated most of the essential Internet services such as customized email, file transfer, remote log in to another host and World Wide Web navigator. The system has been field tested and the experience has been most encouraging
