The Role of Hypermedia in Education

Abstract

Hypertext and its extension, hypermedia, are being used to create new forms of educational software: hypermedia assisted instruction (HAI). In order to create classroom material that is both instructional and motivating, educators and designers must confront a variety of educational issues and problems endemic to hypermedia itself, as well as problems related to education in an unstructured environment. Using techniques usually associated with metastudies this paper looks at the research in discovery and incidental learning as well as hypermedia environments in order to distill those findings that can inform the development of HAI.
