It incorporates text, graphics, video, sound, animation, and linkage between nodes of information. However, the development of effective hypermedia instruction must be based on theoretical and empirical research. The proceeding demonstrates how this interactive hypermedia program is grounded in research. The following exemplifies how learning strategy research was applied to the design of the cognitive tools and discusses their analogous relationship. SRLS represent actions and processes that learners implement during achievement situations.
Cognitive tools can act as structural aids to assist learners in managing new information.
Upon completion of each module, the learner is asked to reassess her poster and notes, referencing information from the modules she has completed. This can help students to integrate new material into their existing cognitive structure. In sum, hypermedia programs that embed cognitive tools grounded in research can provide learners with actions and processes to prevent information decay.
