Lesson 15: Understanding Hypermedia

What is hypermedia? Hypermedia is nothing but multimedia, but this time packaged as an educational computer software where information is presented and student activities are integrated in a virtual learning environment. The presentation of information- learning activities in hypermedia is said to be sequenced in a non-linear manner, meaning learners may follow hi9s path of activities thus providing an environment of learning autonomy and thinking skills. In general, Hypermedia keeps away the students from tasks that requires low-level response but rather focus on  developing students integration of knowledge and higher order thinking skills.
