Describes
how IBM's "LinkWay" hypertext program was used in the
Tuba City Boarding School (Navajo Reservation) to develop reading
improvement programs and to allow students to develop their own
productions. Notes that the program addresses the cooperative, noncompetitive
nature of the Navajo learning style, and the problems of unfamiliar
content and lack of immediate purpose. (SR)
