It is a style of building systems for

organizing, structuring and

accessing information around a network of

multimedia nodes connected together by

links (Conclin, 1987).

It is nothing but a multimedia

packaged as educational computer

software where information is

presented and student activities are

integrated in a virtual learning

environment.

It is a term coined

by Ted Nelson

computer pioneer in

his 1965 definition.

It is a computer-based

information retrieval system that

enables a user to gain or

provide access to texts, audio,

and video recordings,

photographs and computer

graphics related to a particular

subject.

other texts and is therefore usually

non-linear. It is just a subset of

hypermedia where content is

interconnected using hyperlinks.

It is not constrained to be text-based.

It can include other media such as

graphics, images, and especially the

continuous media - sound and video

which are interconnected using

hyperlinks.

Educational IT applications

are hypermedia and these

include Tutorial Software

Packages, Knowledge Web

Pages, Simulation
