An original and efficient model of hypertextual authoring processes and guidelines for electronic multi-media educational and scientific resources' development will be presented for discussion. Basic authoring principles were tested in the course of development of the interactive Web-resource "Русская диалектная фонетика (Russian Dialectal Phonetics)". This new open-source electronic public educational and research resource in Russian linguistics is the first one based on the ideology of "Shareable Courseware Object Reference Model" (SCORM). The Russian dialectology electronic course's structure comprises two major components: a theoretical overview and practical sections (on-line self-tests, exercises). An interactive glossary of linguistic and other special terms is also appended through dense network of hyperlinks. As essential multi- and hypermedia product the course comprises texts, charts, sonagrams, intonograms and diagrams, images (dialect maps), authentic dialectal spoken language records from the archive of dialectological expeditions of the Philological Faculty of the MGU.
