Multiple Views, Contexts, and Symbol Systems in Learning with Hypertext/Hypermedia: A Critical Review of Research.
Tergan, Sigmar-Olaf
Educational Technology, v37 n4 p5-18 Jul-Aug 1997
Reviews research on the effectiveness of hypertext/hypermedia-based learning and concludes that presenting subject matter from different perspectives, in multiple contexts, and in multiple codes does not automatically contribute to higher performance but may when instructional scaffolding is provided. The additional cognitive load may actually depress learning performance in novice students. (Contains 72 references.) (PEN)
