Abstract:

Yu-gong Yi Shan is the title of an ancient Chinese fable. Its electronic version discussed in this article, is a prototype of the use of technology "in support of Chinese teaching and learning." Developed cooperatively by a content expert and an educational technologist, Yu-gong demonstrates how hypermedia can be designed to overcome the linear, static and silent constraints of book technology and provide an integrated, interactive and learner-centered reading environment for students of Chinese.
