While working at NEXT one of the other developer trainers motivated the creation of hypertext course materials. The NEXTSTEP text framework allowed the use of hyperlinks, so this concept was a logical outcome of the libraries capabilities. After some discussions, I took this idea further and created a concept called a flexercise.
Flexercises are a hypertext exercise format. A flexercise uses links to provide additional information to a student as they need it, without forcing an advanced student to read every step in an assignment. Flexerciser is an application I wrote to display these exercises to the user in a safe manner.
Flexercises were designed at the same time the web was being born, making them an interesting footnote in hypertext history.
Users of Flexercises can:
- Open exercises
- Obtain extra information about each step in an exercise up to 4 levels deep
- Print pages
Users of Flexercises can not:
- Edit the exercises
