| In this paper, we describe the development of a personalised multimedia/hypermedia learning environ-ment that |
| utilises multimedia presentation techniques in its interface while still providing Internet con-nectivity for |
| management and delivery purposes. The structure of the domain is based on concepts that can be presented in a |
| variety of ways; multimedia players display the content on the client computer. Tools are provided in the interface |
| to allow students to search for concepts and create personalised views of the materials. Link annotations driven by |
| an overlay student model are supported in all components of the system. The system supports the WWW as its |
| addressing space but uses the local client areas to store media items expensive in terms of delivery time. Learning |
| objects that provide frameworks for tasks and other summative assessment activities are stored on a server and |
