 Hyperstudio is a multimedia authoring tool which can change an ordinary lesson or assignment into an interactive presentation of a project or assignment by adding sound, graphics, and text and to blend it together using hypertext.

In order to use this tool, teachers would benefit from learning how to how the program works and/or being able to create materials themselves. |
| HyperStudio was founded by a classroom teacher in 1978 and was developed by Robert Wagner Publishing becoming a software system that would help to emphasize technology as a personal creative tool for the educators themselves and their students.
