This is the A2-2000 NOV.97 archive version of the README text file. Because all
the stacks from the online WWW version constitute well over 7MB total size and
the fact that they are all available for download from the major three Apple II
ftp sites - they are not included in the archive. Only the text and graphics
are included in this archive.
You can download them from any of these ftp sites or from the online November
issue of A2-2000 - all note below with their url's.
(You will find a few bonus HCGS utility ShrinkIt archives - not found
the online issue)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the November Preview of A2-2000
This issue will focus on every aspect of HyperCard IIgs, from it's conception and
history to date. That covers a lot of ground with such a diverse, powerful and
useful freeware - Apple IIgs FIVE STAR multimedia program. Come back often to
watch the preview grow and blossum with everything HyperCard has to offer it's
users. Do YOU like to hunt for 'Easter Egg's'? Do you like free prizes? If you
do, then - read on , especially the end of this readme file for a listing of
just what the prize bundle consist of. :)
Somewhere in this Nov.97 online preview of A2-2000 is one 'Easter Egg' for you to
hunt for. One GREAT prize bundle will be given to the first person that finds
this 'Easter Egg', and is the first person to properly reply to me by email, as
instructed in this Easter Egg.
Cheers & Best Wishes!

Reviews and Commentary for Hyper Interactive Cai : Using Hypercard to Develop
Computer-Assisted Instruction/Book and Disk
Card catalog description From developing a friendly computer interface to
creating animated effects that "make the screen dance," this hands-on guide shows
readers how to use HyperCard software to create top-quality instructional
programs on the Macintosh. The book describes how to choose subject matter,
design a program, and determine the method of presentation - including the type
of interaction and guiding metaphors that will be used. It explains how to make
programs easy for the user to navigate and control; how to create effective
introductions, paths, and transitions; how to create useful feedback and
remediation; and how to develop reliable assessment, scoring, and help. To make
it easy for readers to learn by doing design theory and practice -| review
http://209.100.61.57/HC7, check it now for instructions now on just how to win
the prize bundle offered for the EE hunt-| for the twenty-five special HyperCard
stacks are used to walk the reader through on-screen demonstration sessions - the
stacks are supplied on disk accompanying the book. These modular sessions let
readers try their hand at various aspects of CAI before sitting down to create an
entire program. Readers will learn how to write scripts, design screens, develop
appropriate practice tasks, "bullet-proof" their programs, and integrate
graphics, sound, and animation into their lessons. For those with access to
videotape and other video sources, a chapter on QuickTime explains how Apple
Computer's new system extension can be used to integrate video presentations into
computer lessons, creating multi-media instructional programs right on thecomputer
screen.
Book News, Inc., 11/01/94: This guide is for educators who have some experience
with HyperCard and are ready to delve into its intricacies in order to create
their own programs for instruction on a Macintosh. The author, coordinator of the
computer-based education program at the California State U., Dominguez Hills,
instructs readers that their computer should be on and the included disk kept
close at hand so they can benefit from the dual nature of the book--part textbook
and part manual--and its dual subject matter--computer-assisted instruction and
HyperCard. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

by Danny Goodman
1st print - Paperback Edition
Availability: This title is out of print,
but if you place an order we may be
able to find you a used copy within
possibly 1-3 months. Very hard to find.
Published by Bantam Books
ISBN: 0553343912
The Easter Egg has been implimented and is available somewhere from the online
Nov. issue of A2-2000 - as of Nov. 4, 1997. DUH, that means it's here to hunt
for!
As an added prize bunus - I'm including a rare Developer CD Series release for
May, 1992, titled: 'Hack to the Future' from Apple Computer, Inc. (IMHO) equal in
value content to the Gold Dev. CD (which contains the entire Dev. bundle for
HyperCard IIgs v1.1 - with src. codes, plus a multitude of unreleased goodies
for use with the IIgs OS v6.0x, such as a postcrsipt Word Processor program :) -
a AppleScanGS program - for flatbed scanners, and more rarities - most users might
never get the option to see, much less have for their own use.
As always, the first person to find the Easter Egg form the Nov.97, A2-2000
Preview online issue and is able to reply first to me, by email, correctly
and as instructed, wins the above noted prize package.
Good Luck with the Easter Egg Hunt :)
