 HISTORY
In 1965 the terms hypertext
and hypermedia were coined
by Ted Nelson. In his article
titled “Complex information
processing: a file structure
for the complex, the changing
and the indeterminate.” In
1992, he wrote:
 HISTORY
By now, the word hypertext has become generally
accepted for branching and responding text. Still, the
corresponding name hypermedia, meaning complexes of
branching and responding graphics, movies and sound - and
text - is much less used. Instead, they use the strange
term interactive multimedia - four syllables longer, and
not expressing the idea that it extends hypertext.
 HISTORY
Hypertext is a digital medium for presenting
information that includes non-linear navigation through
related pieces of information. It is a form of text that
is linked to other texts or multimedia resources,
allowing users to navigate through information in a
non-sequential way. It's commonly used on the internet,
where websites use hyperlinks to connect related pages
and resources. It is also used in e-books, educational
materials, and technical documentation.

P E R T E X T ?
HY
 Hyper =Over;
beyond, something
more than usual

Hyper active: a term that is used to

describe a person or a character
very much active, more active
Text = That is a letter or combination of
some letters to carry /transfer a
meaning. Human being uses text to
express ideas and concepts.

Hyper +Text = Hypertext

Simply that is something beyond text,
more than simple/plain/ordinary text.

A hypertext is a kind of digital document that has
links to other documents or resources that are
related to it. It permits clients to explore through
data non-straightly by following connects to
related content. Users can easily access and
explore complex, interconnected information
networks made possible by hypertext.

On the internet, hyperlinks are used to connect
web pages to one another and to other online
resources. Hypertext is commonly used to create
websites. It is also used in digital documents like
e-books, which use hyperlinks to give readers
more information or let them move through the
book in a non-linear way.
 I N I T I O N S
DEF
Hypertext represents a relatively recent innovation
to the user interface, which overcomes some of the
written text limitations. Rather than remaining
static like traditional text, hypertext makes
possible a dynamic organization of information
through links and connections (called a hyperlink).
 Let's say you're reading an online
article about a new recipe for vegan
EXAMPLE lasagna. Within the article, there are
several hyperlinks to related content,
such as a video demonstrating how to
make the lasagna, a list of ingredients
needed for the recipe, and a discussion
forum where other people have shared
their experiences making the dish.
 By clicking on any of these hyperlinks, you can
quickly access the related content without
having to search for it separately. For
example, if you're not sure what one of the
ingredients is, you can click on the hyperlink to
see a picture and a description. If you're more
of a visual learner, you can watch the video to
see exactly how the dish is made.
The user interface (UI) is everything
created with information technology

User
an informational tool. Any person
may interact, including through a

Interface
screen,keyboard, mouse, light pen,
desktop-like look, illuminated
characters, help messages, and how a
software or website works invites
interaction and responds to it.
 Basic Features of a
Hypertext System
A Graphical User Interface, or GUI. This allows users to navigate
through large amounts of data easily.
A hypermedia engine that will contain information about nodes
and links.
Information Retrieval systems, allowing users to search for items
based on specified criteria.
Tools that will enable users to create and manage nodes and
links.
A storage system such as a file system or a database system.
 Why Hypertexts?
• In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate information by
exploring the connections provided.
• Hypertext is a very different way of presenting information than the
usual linear form.
• Text no longer flows in a straight line through a book. Instead, it is
broken down into many smaller units (lexias, to borrow a term from
literary criticism), each addressing a few issues
• It acts as a bridge between two basic, opposite, and
complementing
elements that may be called gender of knowledge representation:
tree and shortcut.
Advantages of
Hypertext
1. Simultaneous: It's easier to have multiple windows
available simultaneously. It is one of the most
fundamental problems in writing is simultaneity.

2. Timeliness: Another possibility for hypertext is the

expansion of the timeline. In a hypertext timeline, the
points indicated on the timeline don't have to stand by
themselves. The reader doesn't even have to search a
chapter or search through the index to find supporting
information.
3. Multiple Paths of Inquiry /exploration: Hypertext is
very different way of presenting information than the
usual linear form. Reading hypertext is just like
exploration. Readers have the opportunity to read in
great depth, and will hopefully find well-written
hypertext more impressive than even the most
enthusiastic notes.

4. Individual learning opportunities: Can be customized

for particular learners or groups of learners according
to ability
5. Reader control: A hypertext environment gives the learner
control over paths of learning. Reader control allows the
learner to make choices in navigating and manipulating the
content on sites. Hypertext allows for a non-linear movement
within a document with the option of quickly returning to the
point of origin (Conklin, 1987).

6. Non-Linear information Structure: Hypertext allows for a

non-linear movement within a document with the option of
quickly returning to where learners started (Conklin, 1987). 6.
Supports the connection of ideas
7. Some Text Is Suited to Hypertext: Some textual information
is not easily presented in a linear form. Arguments and
counter- arguments are more comfortable to show in
hypertext. Some linear texts are unwieldy, and their indices
are inadequate (Foltz, 1996). Searching for a piece of specific
information is with hypertext (Foltz, 1996).

8. Updating Information: Writers of hypertext can easily

access their work and update information, links, and
references, to ensure an active and functional site.
9. Critical Thinking: Hypertext allows readers to analyze
information from multiple perspectives. Information
gathered from different sources engages users in critical
thinking as they make choices discover, and problem solves
their route through the topic being studied.

10. Centering and de-centering: As the learner uses

hypertext, they determine the focus or center of an
investigation by choosing to move outside the limits set up
by the author's navigational structure.
11. Embedded text: Can be directly link text in a document to
references and other documents for quick access. Embedded
text, if moved to a new document, will take its linked
properties with it.

12. Asynchronous communication: Not only, does hypertext

support synchronous communication, giving it a similar
functionality as a book, but hypertext also enables direct
communication with an author or expert (asynchronous
communication) thus, providing an enriched learning
environment. (Brown 1999).
