Accoring to (Gazzaniga & Scarafiotti 1997) hypermedia is the most recent way of using computers in education. The students are free to navigate
among a lot of teaching material (much like this site...)
- Absolutely free teaching path
- Collaborative communication style in the sense that the student can find hints to proceed.
- Total individuality
- Useful for acquiring new concepts and for recovering lacks of knowledge.
- Most severe criticism: The freedom may cause students to lose touch with educational aims.
