| Abstract: | This paper introduces and analyzes problems and issues in the design and use of cognitive tools in open, user-centered learning environments. It introduces a classification scheme for tool functions, and showcases several tools in a current educational hypermedia research and development effort. Information-seeking, information-presentation, knowledge- organization, knowledge-integration, and knowledge-generation tools are discussed, followed by a description of "The Human Body," an interactive CD-ROM based on the television series, "The Universe Within Human Body. The Human Body." Implications for future research and development in the design and use of cognitive tools in hypermedia learning environments are addressed. (Contains 18 references and 6 figures.)
