Hypermedia and Instruction: Where is the Match?

  • Chapter
Designing Hypermedia for Learning

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 67))

Abstract

We have recently begun a major project to design, develop, and implement an enriched learning environment (ELE) for undergraduate education. Our initial thinking was very technology oriented. A hypermedia environment would allow students to explore a knowledge domain and see the relations between ideas; it would allow students and instructors to create new links and new units of information reflecting their interests and needs; it would permit faculty to catalogue and organize their instructional materials and permit them to create high quality text, graphics, and even animation in the comfort of their office; and finally, it would permit students and faculty to communicate and debate. We were attempting to define a technology that would be all things for all students and instructors. It would be a tool that would serve any use of a database and any communication in the learning process. Those rather naive notions have long since passed.
