Hypermedia Navigation Profiles: Cognitive Characteristics and Information Processing Strategies.
MacGregor, S. Kim
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v20 n2 p189-206 1999
Videotaped observations were made of seventh and eleventh grade students using an instructional hypermedia system. Three profiles of hypermedia navigation emerged with each style characterized by distinct information processing strategies. Analysis of the characteristics of learners revealed that students within each profile group had similar levels of prior knowledge, need for cognition, and self-efficacy. Contains 33 references.
