Lesson 15: UNDERSTANDING HYPERMEDIA

Hypermedia is multimedia. In a class we can determine who understand fast and who do not. There are slow learners. How will a slow learner get to understand an instruction alone using the computer? Hypermedia provides an atmosphere of search, exploration and a lot of discoveries. It encourages the student to walk around the computer and its software. The traditional method of teaching also helps but it makes poor classroom atmosphere. Usually, the students keep quite because of fear and this does not mean they are listening to the discussion. Upon using or embracing hypermedia, the students will make their own paths; they will be capable of directing themselves into what they want and on what to improve in themselves. Hypermedia provides a freedom to the learners; a freedom to be what they want and what they are.
