The use of Apple Macintosh computers and Hypercard in teaching physiology laboratories

P. J. Stephens and J. A. Doherty
Department of Biology, Villanova University, Pennsylvania 19085.

A network of Apple Macintosh computers has been integrated into existing undergraduate physiology laboratories. Hypercard software programs replace the traditional laboratory handout; the text contains a number of buttons linked to cards that provide additional information on a particular subject. This additional information includes theory, the use of various instruments, expected results, and details on how to perform data analysis. This system of information layering allows students to work independently, at their own pace, and allows them to learn as much or as little as they consider necessary. Each computer is interfaced with a MacLab/4 data-acquisition unit, which permits the computer screen to display a four-channel chart recorder or a two-channel oscilloscope.
