Abstract

This chapter gives a short overview of the relevant state of the art in the authoring/learning environment, allowing the reader to position the proposed reference architecture in the context of other approaches. It also discusses the two fundamental software concepts, object-orientation and hypertext, since they are essential for the comprehension of the remainder of the book. For the relevant state of the art in CAL, we refer to Part I of this book.
