    Abstract
    Models administrative and operating costs surrounding a hypermedia database and determines 7 conditions for the cost justification of hypermedia; higher linking costs proportionately reduce the total number of links implemented; increasing the benefits from using the database increases the total number of links proportionately; increasing database size results in an increase in the total number of links implemented; if the database user learns from the database slowly, then a larger number of links need to be provided: the maximum size of databases which is justified on cost will increase as the average cost of linking each node becomes smaller; the total benefit from usage required in order to cost justify a database will decrease as the average cost of linking each node becomes smaller and the maximum size of database which is cost justified will increase rapidly as the learning rate increases. The learning rate can be increased by construction of links and nodes so that they are maximally informative

    Abstract
    Experiential learning theory, introduced by Kolb, suggests that people develop different learning styles. A study was conducted to determine whether or not individuals who exhibit certain learning styles are more successful in using a hypermedia problem solving system. The Learning Style Inventory was used to classifiy subjects into 4 groups based on their learning styles: converger, diverger, assimilator, and accomodator. The study found that learning style had an impact on problem solving quality when using the hypermedia system. The preferred learning style in a hypermedia based problem solving environment is the converger. In terms of learning orientation, abstract conceptualizers performed a higher quality of hypertext based problem solving than those who prefer concrete experience

    Abstract
    Hypermedia information systems, because of their inherent qualities of nonlinearity and associative linking, offer the potential of facilitating enhanced knowledge representation and construction for users. These capabilities will be more fully realized if hypermedia information systems are developed and implemented based on constructivist learning theory. Examines the qualities of hypermedia systems that enable them to facilitate learning, discusses the background of current learning theories and provides a brief view of a possible hypermedia system based on constructivist learning principles that could be developed through the use of intellegent autonomous agents

    Abstract
    Reports on a study into the acquisition and transfer of complex knowledge using a conceptually indexed hypertext learning environment based on recent cognitive theory and research. It employed 2 differently structured hypertext thematic criss-crossing (TCC) treatments, Guided TCC and Learner Selected TCC, that demonstrated interrelationships between abstract conceptual and case specific knowledge components in the hypertext materials. Results suggest that students need explicit modelling and scaffolding support in order to learn complex knowledge from a case-based, conceptually indexed hypertext learning environment

    Abstract
    The rapid evolution of hypermedia technology makes it possible to access an immense volume of information in an educational setting. This research examines the relationship between individual differences (in particular, cognitive styles) and navigation strategies using a WWW-based hyper-media learning system. The hypermedia learning system was used at Sheffield University's Department of Information Studies. 20 Master students were pre-tested for their cognitive styles. Dependent variables included navigation patterns, selection of navigation tools, and reactions to the hypermedia system. the results indicated that students with differing cognitive styles and individual characteristics selected different access facilities and applied different navigation patterns. The implication of these findings and the role of individual differences in designing hypermedia-based learning systems are discussed

    Abstract
    Proposes a theoretical framework for organizing information and activities in educational hypermedia systems. Focuses on the content that can be represented within a physical media, rather than the physical media itself. Proposes a theory of cognitive media types based on the inferential and learning processes of human users. Presents an implemented computer system, called AlgoNet, that supports hypermedia information access and constructive learning activities for self paced learning in computer and engineering disciplines

    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

    Abstract
    This paper describes the development and content of four Computer Assisted Learning packages designed to teach information skills to higher education students. The areas covered include database searching and library search skills. Educational aspects of using hypertext and hypermedia for learning are discussed along with development issues and a description is given of the staff costs involved. The main source of external funding was the Higher Education Funding Councils' Teaching and Learning Technology Programme

    Abstract
    Investigates the effects of context-weks versus context-strong tasks and learning style on the citation frequencies and citation percentages of 4 mental models students perceived to be inherent in a hypermedia learning environment. The 4 mental models were semantic networks, concept maps, frames / scripts and schemata. They were further grouped as linear. In study 1 the search participants could cite as many of the 4 mental models as they chose for each of the target commands, features or tools, in study 2 they were limited to citing only one

    Abstract
    As a growing learning technology, hypermedia needs to be examined in terms of the cognitive processes it encourages in users. Descusses the characteristics that circumscribe hypermedia. Presents 2 perspectives on learning from hypermedia: purpose of usage (culture, education, information) and usage context. Describes 4 cognitive processes involved in hypermedia usage: browsing, searching, integrating, and angling (establishing multiple perspectives). Discusses 2 cognitive pitfalls: hyperspace wandering and cohesion deficit

    Abstract
    In proposing a searching strategy well suited to the hypertext environment, we have considered four criteria: (1) the retrieval scheme should be integrated into a large hypertext environment; (2) the retrieval process should be operable with an unrestricted text collection; (3) the processing time should be reasonable; and (4) the system should be capable of learning in order to improve its retrieval effectiveness

    Presents an alternative paradigm to the traditional Knowlegde Based Expert System Paradigm for developing a full-scale Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). This alternative paradigm integrates Minsky's Frames with hypertext and has been successfully deployed in the development of PEDRO, an ITS for foreign language learning, SONATA, an ITS for music theory learning and INTUITION, an ITS for gaming-simulation

    Abstract
    Describes a hypermedia application that provides students reading German texts with advance organizers in the form of a movie clip designed to facilitate global comprehension and glosses for words in the form of text, graphics, video, and sound. Results of testing indicate that studuents not only reported the photograph and movie links as most helpful for learning vocabulary, but in fact chose them more than text. Performance on vocabulary tests showed that when links were accessed, words were recalled correctly approximately 75% of the time. Learner behaviour data showed that so called visualizers and verbalizers performed equally well on the vocabulary tests but accessed different modes of information (links) corresponding to their respective cognitive styles
