Hello all,
Just today I found an article about Hypermedia Learning by Fred Beven.
I thought it somewhat relevant to last week because it focuses primarily on the learners interaction with a hypermedia and neccessitates the need for research into this area.
It describes that to learn successfully, learners need to master the perceptual and semantic aspects* of hypermedia.
The article then reports on a study that was undertaken by the author on students' learning behaviour and experiences with hypermedia, concluding that, "whilst technology has assisted researchers to better understand what learners have been doing, this methodology offers the potential for us to better understand why they are doing it."
Anyway, so I do not have to type it all out here, I have added the full title below for anyone who wishes to look it up.
Thanks everyone. I'll post again soon! :)

*Perceptual aspects = "the physical organisation of the objects on the screen" (surface layout), whilst semantic aspects = "mental mode of the information developed by the user" (cognitive layout).

Hi Elle
Interesting issues in this article but did you access this article online or was it in hard copy
If you did get access online - did you access it through our library's portal somehow or did you have to pay for your access to it?
I am only asking because I found the article online fairly easily but it was at a site called "informit" and only allowed access the abstract then it asked me to pay to view the full article.
The address I found it was here
Hey Ted,
I cant remember exactly but 'informit' sounds about right.
The reason I would of been able to access it without paying is because I went through Melbourne University.
I am sure you can too as a lecturer? You just need to log onto the library journal article catalogue.
Thanks for reading!
