HYPERTEXT

ts a text within a network with

interconnected writings usually
found in a computer or website.

EXAMPLES

The referent of the hyperlink might

be a separate screen Of so-called
'page' that obscures or replaces
the first page, or simpJy a small
box of text that appears to float
above the initial page.

Hotlinks

Hyperlinks

Links

This is an example of a link:

Electronic text
A constructive perspective
to find a good multimedia program that is
dedicated to foster the main 4 English skils

HYPERMEDIA

Similar to Hypertexts, uses links, but now

they take the reader to media resources
such as saund, images, animaton
and/or video.
Text, audio, graphics, and video are
interconnected to eachother creating a
compilation of information, which is
generally considered as a non-linear
system.

Program Eliza,etc

Example:

a word or picture might have a link to a

sound file giving its pronunciation.

an animation might focus on : related

aspect, such as a review of the value of
different denominations of money.
Therefore the term hypermedia is a more
general term thanhypertext and suggests
that links exist to information TO HELD ON
different media

MULTIMEDIA

Not only uses one or two types of

media, It uses several media types
like: Text Images Sound
Video Animation
a term that has essentially
subsumed hypermedia, but tl1e
original difference was that where
hypermedia might only make use
of two types of media (e.g. text+
sOllnd or text + photographs)

Examples:
Spelling city: its a program that
helps to develop spelling activities, it
has lots links that take to intercartive
activities
including
game:
http://www.spellingcity.com/
PROGRAM BACKPACK: This program is
design by LONGMAN Editorial, it has 6
different levels. It has interactive
activities like song, exercises to
complete, stories,etc

Applications of multimedia to
language learning
DISAVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES

as a way of improving reading skills among

average and less-skilled readers.

the promotion of autonomous language

learning

Leaming (retention, understanding,

knowledge acquisition), but also

the user-friendliness of user interfaces and

thus man-machine interaction

The entertainment value systems (i.e. more

fun)

the impact of messages (e.g. during

business presentations or commercials)

inappropriate and unnecessary

interruptions, such as flashing screeus and
senseless noises are what Hoogeveen
would label incongruent.

CONCLUSION
TBE TERM MULTIMEDIA IS USED TO ENCOMPASS THE NON-LINEAR
ORGANIZATION OF TEXT IN HYPERTEXT AND THE NON-LINEAR
ORGANIZATION AND MULTIPLE INFORMATION FORMATS REFERRED
TO IN HYPERMEDIA

Hypertext, hypermedia and multimedia (now L1sually subsumed under the

term multimedia) are among the special features of the computer that give it
the potential to offer something different (if not better) than tradljtional
teaching and learning materials.
