HyperPhysics

HyperPhysics is an educational website about physics topics. The information architecture of the website is based on HyperCard, the platform on which the material was originally developed,^[1][2] and a thesaurus organization, with thousands of controlled links and usual trees organizing topics from general to specific. It also exploits concept maps to facilitate smooth navigation.^[3] HyperPhysics is hosted by Georgia State University and authored by Georgia State faculty member Dr. Rod Nave.^[4][5]

In the early 2000s, various teaching and education facilitators made use of HyperPhysics material through projects^[6] and organizations,^[7] and also publishers which use SciLinks.^[8]
