Abstract

In this paper, we examine hypermedia systems with an emphasis on the types of learning they are appropriate for. We use Bloom's taxonomy of behavioral objectives as the organizing framework for a discussion of educational uses of hypermedia. First, we will discuss the desirable characteristics of a system designed to support the various taxonomy levels. Next, we will examine a few systems in an attempt to discover which types of learning they are suited for. It is hoped that this paper can serve as an impetus for the creation of a theoretical framework as to how, when, and why hypermedia will be appropriate.
