A linear presentation is one in which the author decides the sequence and manner in which information is presented. The user controls only the pace. A programmed branching program is one in which the user has some control over the sequence of presentation by selecting from a group of choices such as from a main menu. The author still maintains the control of deciding what to include in the choices available at any point in the program. Hypermedia can be thought of as a web of interrelated information in which the user is in almost complete control of the pace, sequence and content of the presentation.

In traditional classrooms, learning means reading textbooks, listening to lectures, taking tests, and completing homework assignments using a word processor. I believe that the best way for you to learn something new is to actually do it. This is why your participation here will be heavily focused on your very own projects. This approach to education features educators and learners who participate in collaborative, constructive, and authentic activities. Students will be responsible for determining the time necessary to complete the required projects.
