Derive research guidelines for hypermedia learning from reviewed findings and the sensible-use claim¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The article's forward-looking recommendation is that future research on hypermedia learning be guided by the findings it reviews and by the corresponding claim that hypermedia may be effective only if used in a sensible way. The authors state that these "are used to derive a couple of guidelines for further research on hypermedia learning," directing researchers to address the usability, learner-characteristic, conceptual, and methodological problems identified.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Researchers must consider the four identified sources of ambiguous findings when designing hypermedia studies

Constraints¶

• The available text states only that guidelines are derived; it does not print the individual guidelines themselves

Target Learners¶

• Researchers studying hypermedia learning

Target Learning Goals¶

• Improving research designs for determining hypermedia learning effectiveness

Related Strategies¶

• Present supportive information in hypermedia systems to support elaboration and mindful abstraction
