There have been a number of tools developed to address the issue of authoring so as to ease the cognitive load involved in composition. This paper examines two key areas related authoring tool design: hypertext representation and User Experience (UX) design. Both of these are important factors that should be considered when designing hypertext authoring tools. The paper also presents the AMAS Authoring Tool. A new and unique authoring tool that allows non-technical Subject Matter Experts to compose adaptive activity based courses without the needing to write any code or technical languages.
