The following is a complete outline and review of the Apple II Tutor-Tech 
Hupermedia - Multimedia program. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tutor-Tech brings the world of Hypermedia - Multimedia to your Apple II
Computer.

It's a New World

Hypermedia is an really expressive and personal creative style of software which
gives teachers, business trainers, and enthusiasts the power to create their own
software easily and inexpensively.

Just as word processors are for typing letters and reports, hypermedia helps you
collect, explore, and organize information of every kind you desire. You can
create lessons, tests, classroom activities, adventure games, even interactive
video courseware!

With Tutor-Tech Hypermedia, your Apple computer becomes a medium for sharing
information. You organize information on cards, a universal metaphor for storing
information. One card is displayed on the screen at a time, and it can have text
and graphics. A collection of cards make a stack (a hypermedia file), which can
be saved on disk. And here comes the most extraordinary part--buttons. Buttons
allow you to link information on one card to another card or another stack.

That's the whole idea. It's so remarkably simple that thousands of people like
yourself are already using Tutor-Tech to create, customize, and trade stacks.
All without one bit of programming. Just take a look at some of Tutor-Tech's
features.

Everything Under the Sun

Not everyone is an artist. So, Tutor-Tech comes with a disk full of
clip-art--over 300 pictures in all--to help you create
professional-looking, eye-catchy stacks. Fast.

Tutor-Tech also comes with 12 ready-made background cards. By simply
copying an index card or an open book, and then adding your text and
graphics, your stacks will look like commercial software.

And you have the power to import clip-art from best-selling graphics
programs and scanners:

PrintShop, Newsroom, 8/16 Paint, DazzleDraw, Quickie, ThunderScan,
ComputerEyes, and LightningScan.

You can use the power of all these programs to illustrate your stacks.
Imagine--right on the screen--a scanned picture of yourself, a textbook
illustration, or perhaps a map. This opens up a world of unlimited
possibilities!!

One Good Idea Leads to Another

In the classroom, in the boardroom, and in the home, we make
connections between different ideas and information. We do it all the
time. With Tutor-Tech, you can organize your ideas and information the
same way as you do in your mind. You simply create one card after
another in storyboard fashion. You add text and graphics with the tools.
If you like, you can import clip-art from your favorite programs. And
finally, you add buttons or "hot spots" over objects to link the card to
other cards.

It's really that simple--without programming and without restrictions.
Cards have no standard format. It's up to you how you present
information or pose questions. You can create any number of buttons,
position them anywhere, and link them to any other card or any other
stack.

In this way, you can create lessons, tests, visual databases, even
adventure games. And the number of buttons, cards, and stacks is
unlimited.

Multimedia: The Big Picture

With Tutor-Tech, you also have the power to control other media--audio and
video--from within your stacks:

Add high-quality digitized speech to your presentations. Import Echo words
directly into stacks or send plain text to any speech-printer card.

Add voice narration with an audio cassette player like Tutor-Talk. Students will
sit up and listen when they hear your voice!

Add video footage to your presentation. Control VCRs to start, stop, and rewind
video tapes. Tutor-Tech works with Panasonic, Sony, JVC and other compatible
models.

Create interactive video using a videodisc player. Summon video stills and
full-motion video in seconds. Tutor-Tech is fully compatible with Pioneer 2000,
2200, 4200 and 8000 models, plus Magnavox, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, and Sony
models.

Superimpose video on the computer's screen with Apple's Video Overlay Card.
Students click video images directly. Your transparent buttons take them to the
other cards.

Keep in mind that multimedia is optional. Every Tutor-Tech package has all of
the above features, whether you use them now or in the future.

Making the Grades

Tutor-Tech's optional Gradebook program tracks individual student
performance and does all the grading for you. Automatically.

It's remarkably easy. You could create a stack with, say, 50 test
questions. You use 'right' and 'wrong' buttons for the answers. The
Gradebook will tally how many right and wrong buttons each student
chooses, and the scores are saved on disk or on the network!

You can manipulate the final scores by defining letter grades, setting the
curve, plotting and printing the results. All without once touching a
calculator.

The Sky's the Limit

There's no end to what you can do. With Tutor-Tech, you can create a
stack on 17th Century Art and follow it with stacks on the 18th, 19th,
and 20th. And just as easily, you can create stacks on any number of
subjects--from basic science to how to grow apples.

Your stacks are your property and you can exchange them with
colleagues. Just copy them with a file utility and sell, trade, or give
them away.

Students can create stacks, too. In fact, students are great authors and
they learn better from each other. Our Site License can make it all
happen for you ($4 per computer). Call for details.

"All These Worlds Are Yours"

Tutor-Tech comes with a Samples disk packed with stacks (some shown
here) but you can also purchase ready-made stacks. The Stack Exchange
Magazine is a major resource which reviews hundreds of commercial and
public-domain stacks. You can order right out of the SE and, if you like,
tailor stacks with Tutor-Tech.

Right now, there are thousands of innovative people like yourself who
trade stacks, and hundreds of stack developers with commercial stack
products. The SE will put you in touch with everyone in the
hyper-community. You can even publish your own stacks and have them
reviewed in the SE, which is sent to thousands of Tutor-Tech users
worldwide.

The Best of All Possible Worlds

After all this razzle-dazzle, you'd expect to see some fancy hardware
requirements about now. But you won't. Tutor-Tech works on ordinary
Apple II Computers:

     Apple IIe Both unenhanced (beige) and enhanced (platinum) models
work fine. All you need is 128K and one drive.

     Apple IIc and IIc+ Everything is built-in. 128K and one drive are
standard.

You can even use Tutor-Tech on IBM PC's or compatibles using Apple II 
emulation.

However, students can use stacks with a keyboard. Tutor-Tech is
compatible with:

     Pointing devices: mice, joysticks, track-balls, Koala Pads,
touch-screens, tablets.

     Alternative keyboards such as Muppet Learning Keys and adaptive
equipment.
