OPAL is an interactive system using computer technology and hypermedia principles to bring a revolutionary approach to learning and teaching. Information on topics in cell-to-cell signalling spanning different disciplines is presented. There are no sequential and rigid patterns. Each user can browse freely and create his/her own knowledge trail. OPAL modules provide intuitive and easily remembered learning. The system: uses mouse activated icons and windows with sensitive zones to access much more in-depth information, illustrations, or text, establishing a personal path through the subjects according to interest; allows animations and experimental simulations in which the user can play an active role; and includes tests which give a detailed score of your knowledge and automatically prepare a revision programme. In the Teacher version, lessons of any desired sequence can be made which can be projected on a large screen. The Question Maker allows the teacher to make up questions for knowledge evaluation.
