In this article, I describe a multimedia program in associative learning, resident on CD-ROM, available for Macintosh computers. The program uses HyperCard (1993) and consists of 70 minilectures grouped into 9 chapters. Each minilecture consists of an audio track, bullet charts, quotes, graphs, pictures, animations, and photographs; most contain one or more video clips. The text for each minilecture is available on an adjacent card. Student performance on objective tests suggests that the software is useful.
