User control in hypermedia instructional applications: A literature review

Elizabeth A. Weise

Abstract

This article examines research literature on educational hypermedia design and divides the literature into two groups, one advocating no author control of the user's path through the material, the other advocating varying degrees of control. The no control researchers’ work is determined to be lacking in audience and goals analyses as well as results evaluation while the researchers advocating control lack grounding in theory.
