Hypermedia is a form of multimedia that presents information and learning activities in a virtual environment. It is commonly used in educational software, webpages, simulations, and assessments. Hypermedia is characterized by learner control over their navigation path and pace, a wide range of navigation routes, and the use of multiple media types including text, graphics, audio, and video. When using hypermedia for learning, it is important to optimize the process by considering how media can be used to gain attention, recall prior knowledge, state objectives, introduce content, guide learning, provide feedback, assess performance, and enhance retention.
