4. 3Levels of Hypermedia
1. Read-only: similar to reading a book, minimal control
2. Participating: learner more actively engaged – more
like a library (webquest would be an example)

5. Advantages of Hypermedia

materials than by studying them
 Permits concrete representation of abstract ideas
 Enables multiple representations of ideas
 Students are actively engaged in creating
representations of their own understanding by using their
own modes of expression

6.  Students are highly motivated due to pride of
ownership in the product
 Orients teachers and students away from "knowledge
is information" and "teacher's role is to transmit
knowledge"
 Promotes development of critical theories of
knowledge
Advantages of Hypermedia

7. Disadvantages of
Hypermedia
 Hypermedia construction is a time-consuming process.
 There are more significant hardware and software
requirements for multimedia construction than for other
Mindtools (e.g. databases, spreadsheets, concept
mapping, computer conferencing, microworld
environments).
