Hypertext and Hypermedia Based on cognitive theories of how people structure knowledge and how they learn Links to navigate Non-sequential navigation

Hypertext and Hypermedia It is an information database or medium that links verbal and nonverbal information on the web. Hypertext links called hyperlinks create a complex virtual web of connections for users. Hypermedia combines the words hypertext and multimedia.

Hypertext Hypertext is a system of storing images, text, and other computer files that allows direct links to related text, images, sound, and other data. Hypertext is the main basis of operation for the web.

Hypermedia Hypermedia is an updated extension of text in hypertext. It is the marriage between hypertext and multimedia. Hypermedia documents contain links to other pieces of text, sound, images, movies, and other

Hypertext vs. Hypermedia Like regular text, hypertext can be edited, stored, searched or read. Unlike regular text, it can also contain connections to other documents. Hypermedia documents are like hypertext, except that they also contain links to other forms of media like movies, sound and images
