%0 Journal Article %T Hypermedia as an experiential learning tool: a theoretical model %A Jose Miguel Baptista Nunes %A Susan P. Fowell %J Information Research: an international electronic journal %D 1996 %I Information Research %X The process of methodical design and development is of extreme importance in the production of educational software. However, this process will only be effective, if it is based on a theoretical model that explicitly defines what educational approach is being used and how specific features of the technology can best support it. This paper proposes a theoretical model of how hypermedia can be used as an experiential learning tool. The development of the model was based on a experiential learning approach and simultaneously aims at minimising the inherent problems of hypermedia as the underlying support technology. %K educational software %K theoretical model %K hypermedia %K experiential learning %U http://informationr.net/ir/2-1/paper12.html
