- Abstract
- Increased learner control is one of the benefits of implementing hypermedia in instructional settings. However, prior research has not determined whether students using hypermedia systems that provide a large amount of learner control actually perceive themselves to be in more control over the learning environment than do student using traditional text-style materials. This is a significant issue because provision of increased control does nothing to help the student unless the student perceives the increased control. Students using hypertext to learn technical information experienced an increased sense of control. Further, it provides preliminary evidence of an increased level of intrinsic motivation to learn among hypertext users. Implications for further research regarding the effects of hypermedia on users' intrinsic motivation are discussed
