Title

Misleading theoretical assumptions in hypertext / hypermedia research

Source

Abstract

Outlines and reviews basic theoretical assumptions of research on learning with hypertext and hypermedia. Focuses on whether the results of research on hypertext / hypermedia-based learning support these assumptions. Results of empirical studies as well as a theoretical analysis reveal that many research approaches have been misled by inappropriate theoretical assumptions on the potential of structural and functional features of hypertext / hypermedia to support learning. Discusses theoretical shortcomings and outlines future research
