Hypermedia is educational computer software that presents information and integrates student activities in a virtual learning environment. It allows non-linear presentation of information and learning activities through tutorial packages, knowledge webpages, simulation games, and project management. Learners have control over their own path and pace of instruction. While hypermedia utilizes multiple media, it does not replace real-life experiences or teachers.

1. Understanding
Hypermedia

2. Packaged as an
educational computer
software where information

activities are integrated in
virtual learning environment.

3. Tutorial software packages

4. The presentation of information
– learning activities in
hypermedia is said to be
sequenced in a non – linear
manner.
Example: flight stimulator used

6. The learner make his own
decisions on the path, flow
or events of instruction.

7. The learner controls the
sequence and pace of his
path depending on his
ability and motivation.

8. Hypermedia includes more
than one media but does not
necessarily use all types of
media in one presentation.

9. Given all capabilities, hypermedia
still does not replace life’s
experience and learning from
nature and life.
Information and communication
technology cannot replace the
teacher altogether.
