Understanding Hypermedia

 Packaged as an educational computer software where information is presented and student activities are integrated in virtual learning environment.

 Tutorial software packages  Knowledge webpages  Simulation instructional games  Learning project management and others.

The presentation of information – learning activities in hypermedia is said to be sequenced in a non – linear manner. Example: flight stimulator used to train pilots

 The learner make his own decisions on the path, flow or events of instruction.

 The learner controls the sequence and pace of his path depending on his ability and motivation.

 Hypermedia includes more than one media but does not necessarily use all types of media in one presentation.

 Given all capabilities, hypermedia still does not replace life’s experience and learning from nature and life.  Information and communication technology cannot replace the teacher altogether.
