Lesson 15: Understanding Hypermedia
From
the Educational Technology I course, the student has already become aware of
multimedia or an audiovisual package that includes more than one instructional
media (means of knowing) such as text, graphics, audio animation and video
clip.
Hypermedia is nothing but multimedia, but this time packaged as educational computer software where information is presented and student activities are in a virtual learning environment. The presentation of information-learning activities in hypermedia is said to be sequenced in a non-linear manner, meaning that 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. For the most part, the learner controls the sequence and pace of his path depending on his ability and motivation. He has the option to repeat and change speed, if desired. Of course, at the start, the learner may choose the learning activities he prefers. Meanwhile, the teacher has the prerogative to determine suitable learning objectives.

The learner also has a wide range of
navigation routes such as by working on concepts he is already familiar with.
They may even follow a linear or logical path, even if the previous activity is
half-completed. He may explore other sections opting to return or complete the
previous activity.
In this lesson, what I have discovered
is that the hypermedia is a blending of two words “Hypertext” and “Multimedia”.
An example here is this “digital portfolio”, there is a certain point by where
a hyperlink is placed, and if you click it, you will proceed to another page or
site. In the internet, we can find lots and lots of hypermedia. This is
use to organize the content of the website or page.
