Hypermedia extends the hypertext paradigm into multimedia. Recently, many enterprises have attempted to incorporate hypermedia functionality into their diverse range of business applications such as decision support systems, document management, software management, and team collaboration. This paper presents a methodology for designing hypermedia applications based on users’ views. In designin...

The goal of this comparative case study is to investigate how students collaboratively learn about complex systems with hypermedia. This study also investigates how the conceptual representation underlying the hypermedia influences students’ collaborative activities and knowledge co-construction. We use two different types of hypermedia to study the human respiratory system. One version of the ...

The semantics of hypermedia documents depends mainly on the satisfaction of both logical and temporal synchronization constraints. Therefore, the specification and verification of temporal and logical properties of hypermedia systems is a fundamental stage that must be done before implementation. In this paper we propose a formal model, called HTSPN (Hierarchical Time Stream Petri Net), that al...

In this paper we present the current situation at the field of hypermedia data modelling. We list advantages and disadvantages of the most primitive hypermedia data model, i.e. the nodelink data model and the models of the second generation hypermedia, such as the Hyperwave data model and HM-Data Model. We believe that an introduction of a semantic hypermedia data model, called the HC-Data Mode...

With the advent and growth of the Web, hypermedia information systems have propagated within and beyond organizations. Much concern has been expressed about the quality of hypermedia systems being developed and the apparent absence of disciplined development practices. There has been talk that the infamous “software crisis” is afflicting hypermedia systems development, allegedly brought about b...

This is a qualitative study that aims to describe the opinion of nursing students on the use of an educational hypermedia on Peripheral Venipuncture. We interviewed 16 nursing students of a private university on second semester of 2014. The interviews allowed the identification of units of meaning and categorization by content analysis and led to four categories: influence of hypermedia on lear...

Research in adaptive hypermedia educational systems has increased with the growth of the Internet. Currently, all adaptive hypermedia educational systems collect information about cognitive style through completion of a questionnaire based on a psychometric test. This direct measure may be intrusive and annoying to a student and makes an adaptive system aligned to cognitive style unavailable fo...
