    The document discusses hypermedia and its characteristics for educational use. It defines hypermedia as multimedia packaged in an interactive virtual learning environment where information and student activities are integrated. Key characteristics of hypermedia include learner control over their path and pace of learning, and the use of multiple media like text, graphics, audio and video. Hypermedia allows for a non-linear learning experience tailored to each student's abilities.

    HYPERMEDIA
    What is
    HYPERMEDIA?
    HYPERMEDIA is nothing but MULTIMEDIA,

    but this time packaged as an educational


    computer software where information is
    presented and student activities are
    integrated in a virtual learning environment.
    MULTIMEDIA HYPERMEDIA
    Most educational IT applications are
    hypermedia and these include:

    • tutorial software packages;


    • knowledge webpages;
    • simulation instructional games; and
    • learning project assessment, and others
    The presentation of information-
    learning activities in multimedia is said to
    be sequenced in a non-linear manner.
    Meaning, the learner may follow his
    path of activities thus providing an
    environment of learner autonomy and
    thinking skills.
    This fact makes it therefore
    important to understand hypermedia in
    the educational context in order to
    ensure their successful integration in
    the teaching-learning process.
    The flight simulator used to train pilots is an
    example of a highly developed hypermedia program.

    Observe that it stimulates an


    environment that allows
    student pilots to practice
    authentic (as is needed to be
    done in the real world) tasks
    while reducing the load of the
    cognitive mode of learning.
    What are the
    characteristics of
    HYPERMEDIA?
    CHARACTERISTICS of
    HYPERMEDIA
    Variety
    Learner of
    Control media

    Learner wide
    range of
    navigation
    routes
    1. LEARNER CONTROL
    This means the learner makes his own
    decisions on the path, flow or events od
    instruction. The learner has control on such
    aspects as sequence, pace, content, media,
    feedback, etc. that he/she may encounter
    in the hypermedia learning program.
    LEARNER WIDE RANGE OF
    NAVIGATION ROUTES
    For the most part, the learner
    controls the sequence and pace of
    his path depending on his/her
    ability and motivation.
    He/She has the option to repeat and
    change speed, if desired. Of course, at
    the start, the learner may choose the
    learning activities he/she prefers.

    Meanwhile, the teacher has the


    prerogative to determine suitable
    learning objectives.
    The learner has a wide range of
    navigation routes such as by working on
    concepts he/she is already familiar with.
    He/She may even follow a linear or
    logical path, even if the previous activity
    is half-completed. He/She may explore
    other sections opting to return or
    complete the previous activity.
    2. VARIETY OF MEDIA
    Hypermedia includes more than one
    media (text, graphics, audio, animation and
    video clip) but does not necessarily use all
    types of media in one presentation.
    Since only virtual learning activity takes
    place, it is important from the standpoint of the
    teacher to optimize the learning process by
    identifying the characteristics of media
    application, as well as the advantages and
    limitations of such an application.
    Given all capabilities, hypermedia still doesn’t replace
    life’s experiences. Even technologist admit that computer
    has a ZERO IQ. and depends on what man can input or
    make of it.

    GIGO “Garbage-in, garbage out” is the very first principle


    that should be remembered about the computer.
    In the use of HYPERMEDIA, the following instructional
    events will prove useful to the owner.

    Gain the learner’s
    attention
    Recall prior

    Inform learner’s of

    software and its
    distinctive features
    Guiding learning,

    Provide learning

    Assess

    Enhance retention
    and transfer
    RTA:

    Hypermedia provides autonomous


    learning. How is this better than the
    traditional classroom learning, which often
    fails to consider the case of slow and poor
    individual learners?
    RTA:

    How can teacher help slow and poor


    learners using the traditional teaching
    methods?
    RTA:

    Hypermedia provides an atmosphere of


    search, exploration and discovery. How can
    the teacher provide such an environment in
    the traditional classroom?
