Once the basic idea of hypertext had spread rapidly throughout the
world via the Internet, the reception of hypertexts soon became
subject of empirical research among psychologists, cognitive
scientists, and educational researchers. As easy to use software
for the writing of hypertexts (HTML editors) is now broadly
available, there are no longer any technical obstacles for the use
of hypertext production in teaching and learning. This book
presents and analyses the learning effects that can be anticipated
from the production of hypertexts. It includes laboratory
experiments, studies on the production of hypertexts in the context
of educational institutions, and reports on software environments
designed for the production of hypertext. It includes theoretical,
empirically and developmentally oriented contributions. The first
three chapters link up directly with research on traditional
writing while addressing aspects of the interaction between content
and rhetoric during hypertext writing. The next three chapters
focus on cooperative learning of students in and through the
production of hypertexts. The following two chapters look at new
technological possibilities, namely, a software environment for
transforming textbooks into personalized hypertexts and the design
of hypervideos. The final chapter discusses potential methods for
further research.
