The document discusses the concept of hypertext, which allows non-sequential reading and linking of information. It describes Vannevar Bush's Memex system, which aimed to help researchers deal with the growing amount of information. Hypertext enables users to explore and access information in any document without a fixed sequential order. It can also incorporate other media like graphics. Some benefits of hypertext include ease of reference tracing, information structuring, and customized documents. However, orientation within the linked network can be challenging for users. The document outlines several uses of hypertext, including in education and language learning.

1. OVERVIEW

2. CONCEPT OF HYPERTEXT
 BUSH Memex ( Memory Extender)
 A sort of mechanized private file and library

 Massive scientific information was increasing
more & more rapidly fast It is more
difficult to follow the information ( information
overloaded)

3. WHAT IS HYPERTEXT ?
 Hypertext means Non-Sequential Reading
and Writing Allows a user to link
information together.
 Hypertext system Enable users to
explore or open any information available in
any document without starting from the first
document sequentially;however, users can
still do it sequentially if they want.

4. Content

F E D

5.  Thereis a possibility of connecting
hypertext with other medias such as
graphics, animation or sound.
 Theonly content distinction between
hypertext and hypermedia is just text.

6.  Ease of tracing references
 Ease of creating new references
 Information structuring
 Global view
 Customized documents
 Modularity of information
 Consistency of information
 Task stacking
 Collaboration

7.  The orientation problems are :
1. Where is the user in the network?
2. What information is available?
3. How can the user get to it?
Smith (1988:39) and Conklin

8.  Enables users to navigate and brows information.
1. Business
a. Product catalogues and Advertisements.
b. Newsletters and new magazines.
2. Information Resources
a. College catalogues and departement guides.
b. Scientific journals, abstract, and indexes.
3. Personal Learning
a. On-Line help and technical documentation.
b. Hypernovels and hyperpoems.

9.  A hypertext system gives individual attention
to a learner or user, at the console and
replies to the system.
 The hypertext can be utilized for educational
purposes, such as for creating a personal
learning tutorial which is commonly known as
the Computer Assisted Learning (CAL).

10. Hypertext in Language Learning
 The capability of hypertext Interactive capability
and flexibility as a computer medium
 It can be implemented in learning all language
skills: Listening (e.g. Listening to
News), Speaking (e.g. The Language of
Discussion), Reading (e.g. Reading A Circle
Graph), Writing (e.g Developing A Good Thesis
Statement)
