EXTENDING THE CLASSROOM - HYPERMEDIA-SUPPORTED LEARNING

Hypermedia materials have great potential in teaching but it is nuclea r how university geography courses will adapt to the new technology an d evolve. We have used a two-pronged approach that places course-speci fic materials into an integrated hypermedia resource connected to exte rnal sources that complement and extend rile content. This strategy pr ovides a path for traditional course materials to give access to the e normous resources available on the Worldwide Web. The results of a stu dent survey indicate that the hypermedia materials are a helpful addit ion for students, especially to support individual learning strategies .
