Abstract

This paper is an assessment of our experiences using networked multimedia and hypertext documents at the US Military Academy. Over the last two years, we have taught a course in which the course material is rich in networked multimedia and hypertext. During the last year, we began a formal assessment of the pedagogical effects of using this hypertext and multimedia in the classroom and making it available in the student´s rooms. This assessment used a course population of approximately 200 students and consisted of measurements of: (1) the amount of time each lesson the student spent using a particular multimedia tool; and (2) the student´s assessment of each tool at the end of the semester. You can use the results of this assessment to plan your development of multimedia and hypertext documents
