Hypermedia is an educational computer software that presents information and integrates student activities in a virtual learning environment. It allows for non-linear presentation of information and learning activities, giving students autonomy over their path. Examples of hypermedia include tutorial software, knowledge webpages, simulation games, and learning management systems. A key characteristic is that it simulates real-world environments to practice tasks while reducing cognitive load, such as flight simulators for pilots.

2. Hypermedia
- Is nothing but Hypermedia
- But this time packaged as an
educational computer
software where information
is presented and student
activities are integrated in a
virtual learning environment.

3. Most education IT application are HYPERMEDIA and these
include:
• Tutorial software packages;
• Knowledge webpage,
• Simulation instructional games; and
• Learning project management, and others.

4. - 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.
-The Flight simulator used to train pilots is an example
of a highly developed hypermedia program .
Observe that it simulates an environment that allows
student pilots to practice authentic (as
Is needed to be done in the real world) task while
reducing the load of the cognitive mode of learning.
