The Effect of Navigation Tools on Learners' Achievement and Attitude in a Hypermedia Environment

Abstract

Navigation tools can be used to direct the amount of learner control and student interactivity available in a hypermedia environment. The purpose of this study was to ascertain if varying the amount of learner control and interactivity through the use of different navigation tools (linear, menu, and search engine) would influence the achievement and attitude of learners of different academic abilities. Results indicated a significant difference for high ability students using the search engine navigation tool. A significant difference in positive attitude was found for all ability levels using the menu navigation tool.
