Hypertext refers to links with textual items often indicated by underlined blue type that when we click on it a new page is open. The links are usually defined in terms of their activity as hotlinks or hyperlinks. According to Bolter (1991) explains the significance of hypertext as “the electronic text is the first text in which the elements of meaning of structure and of visual display are fundamentally unstable.”
Hypermedia is linked not only with a text but also involves linking various media such as sound, images, animation or video. By the other hand multimedia is the use of variety of media because it also involves different tools including text, images, sound, video and animations. An example of multimedia is a storybook because learners must start on the first page and continue reading and only use extra media to provide the sound and images.
There are some advantages of the hypertext are that it can be traced backwards and forwards to the referent. Also can be referenced in several places within the text reducing the need for paraphrasing ideas that are use repetitively and it can be visible at the same time as the text to which it refers
Other advantages of hypertext and multimedia are that promote the autonomy language learning and developed search skills. There are some studies by Montali and Lewandowski that mentions students from the secondary school prefer the multimedia resources to improve their reading skills because the computer promote interest about the topic.
HYPERTEXT
- Hypertext consists of nodes or chunks of information and links between them, is any text which references another and it can beseen as two nodes of information with the reference forming the link.
- Is any text which uses footnotes can be seen as containing nodes of information the text and the footnote with the footnote marker providing the link or pointer from one node to the other. When the reader selects a hypertext link, the movement between the two nodes takes place automatically.
- There are two basic routes to creating hypertext: conversion of anexisting text and direct origination of a new hypertext.
- Hypertext can exist on the web as either static or dynamic content.
HYPERMEDIA
- Hypermedia is the use of text, data, graphics, audio and videoas elements of an extended hypertext system in which allelements are linked, where content is accessible viahyperlinks.
- Text, audio, graphics, and video are interconnected to eachother creating a compilation of information, which is generally considered as a non-linear system.
- Therefore the term hypermedia is a more general term than hypertext and suggests that links exist to information held on different media.
MULTIMEDIA
- Multimedia uses computers to present text, audio, video,animation, interactive features, and still images in various ways and combinations made possible through the advancement of technology.
- By combining media and content, those interested in multimedia can take on and work with a variety of media forms to get their content across.
- The user controls which component wants to visit, but that component can be dynamic, that is, varies without user intervention characterized by a temporal notion and talk audioor video.
MAIN DIFFERENCES
- Hypertext is the electronic text format where, content isinterconnected using hyperlinks, while hypermedia refers to media such as text, audio, graphics and video interconnected using hyperlinks.
- Hypertext is a subset of hypermedia.
- In hypertext, the user moves from one document toanother via links and a visit to a document ends when the application terminates or you move on to another component through the link.
MAIN DIFFERENCES
- Hypermedia structure is the same as that of a hypertextare formed by nodes connected by links but the difference is that the nodes contain different media elements or morphologies.
- The structure of a hypermedia is therefore more complex than that of a hypertext.
- In conclusion the hypermedia combines both hypertext and multimedia. If the multimedia provides a wealth of data types, hypertext provides a structure that allows data to be presented and explored following different sequences, according to the needs and preferences of the user.
