Learning and Technology Hypertext, hypermedia and the web Claire O’Malley

Outline Hypermedia  Definitions and terminology  History of hypertext and hypermedia  Navigation and orientation Web based learning  History and definitions  Applications for learning  Issues in design and use

What is hypertext? Hypertext is the presentation of information as a linked network of nodes which readers are free to navigate in a non- linear fashion. It allows for multiple authors, a blurring of the author and reader functions, extended works with diffuse boundaries, and multiple reading paths. ( Hypertext is non-sequential writing: a directed graph, where each node contains some amount of text or other information. [...] [T]rue hypertext should also make users feel that they can move freely through the information according to their own needs. This feeling is hard to define precisely but certainly implies short response times and low cognitive load when navigating. (Neilsen, 1990)

History and origins of hypertext The concept of a hyperlink can be traced back to Vannevar Bush (1946) in his description of the ‘memex’  Information retrieval systems mirroring associative memory in humans: “When the user is building a trail, he names it, inserts the name in his codebook, and taps it out on the keyboard. Before him are two items to be joined… The user taps a key and the items are permanently joined… Thereafter, at any time, when one of those two items is in view, the other can be instantly recalled.” (Quoted in Naughton, 1999: 214)

History and origins of hypermedia Englebart incorporated the idea of hypertext in his On Line System (NLS) in the 1960s The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson (1974; 1981) Apple Computer’s HyperCard system and HyperTalk language (1980s) Hypertext markup language (HTML) and web browsers (Mosaic, Netscape etc., 1990s)

HyperCard

Navigation and orientation Lost in hyperspace!  Where am I?  How did I get here?  How do I get back?  Where do I go from here? Aids to navigation & orientation  Local vs global maps  Search engines  Views and filters  Indexes and bookmarks  Breadcrumbs and footprints  Tours and histories

History of the internet Bush’s ‘memex’ vision (1945) Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, 1957) Packet-switched networks (Baran, 1962) ARPAnet links UCLA, SRI, UCSB, Univ Utah (1968) First program created: 23 hosts (1972) Transmission Control Protocol / Internet protocol (TCP/IP, Cerf & Kahn, 1974) USENET (news group network), hosts 111+ (Bellovin, 1979) National Science Foundation CSNET, hosts 562 (1981)

History of the www NSFNET 25x faster, 1024 hosts (1984) 1986: 2308 hosts; 1987: 28k hosts Tim Berners-Lee (CERN) creates a hypertext system for memebrs of the high-energy physics community, 313k hosts World-Wide Web released by CERN, 1.1m hosts Mosaic (Andreesen) graphical browser, 2m hosts first commercial use of internet, 4m hosts 1998: >15m hosts Google searches >2bn web pages Google searches >3bn web pages 17/2/04 - Google searches 4,285,199,774 web pages

Uses of the web for learning On-site vs distance learning Resource based learning Delivery of learning materials (CAL) Communication and collaboration  E.g., MUDs, online learning communities Integrating and managing learning  Virtual learning environments (e.g., WebCT)

Issues for learning WWW is a generic tool  Can implement the whole range of teaching/learning strategies and approaches (good and bad!!) Resource-based learning  Authority, quality Security, privacy & safety Complexity, navigation Instability  changes over time, unpredictably
