- CoMPASS is a hypertext system that uses two representations—concept maps and text—to enable multiple passes and to support navigation and learning.
- Each page in CoMPASS represents a conceptual unit such as force or work.
- The left side of the screen shows a concept map and the right side shows the corresponding text. The maps are drawn using the fisheye technique.
