Abstract
An attempt is described to use special techniques to introduce information systems into learner-controlled instruction on a broader basis than encountered today. To do this, “information networks” are defined to add to the information stored in the data base some kind of semantic understanding of the logical structures involved. This approach differs from others, in that the student (or user) works himself with the information network, while other approaches try to guide the learning process via conversational programs which are generated according to a given network.
