Hypertext,hypermedia and multimedia
- 1. COMPUTER FEATURES USED FOR THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF THE LANGUAGES HYPERTEXT THESE ARE KEY WORDS USUALLY IN UNDERLINED BLUETYPE THAT WHEN SELECTED OR CLICKED, TAKE THE READER TO A REFERENT. THIS REFERENT COULD BE A SEPARATE SCREEN OR SO-CALLED PAGE THAT REPLACES THE FIRST PAGE OR SIMPLY A BOX OF TEXT FLOATING ABOVE THE INITIALPAGE.THIS FEATURE LINKSTEXT TO TEXT. IT CAN BE VERY HELPFUL IN TEACHING NEW VOCABULARY IN A READING FOR EXAMPLE SO STUDENTS DON´T HAVE TO ASK FOR THE MEANING TO THE TEACHER. HE IS GORGEOUS MULTIMEDIA ONE WAY TO DIFFERENCIATE HYPERMEDIA FROM MULTIMEDIA IS THAT WHERE THE FORMER MIGHT TAKE HAND OF TWO TYPES OF MEDIA: TEXT+SOUND; TEXT+PHOTOGRAPH. WHILE MULTIMEDIA TENDS TO LINK SEVERAL TYPES INCLUDING TEXT, IMAGES, SOUND, VIDEOS AND/OR ANIMATIONS. AS YOUL’LL HAVE ALREADY NOTICE, THIS COULD BE A POWERFUL TOOL IN TEACHING AND LEARNING LANGUAGE SINCE YOU CAN COVER DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE. HYPERMEDIA THIS IS SIMILAR TO HYPERTEXT BUT MORE COMPLETE, IT CAN LINK NOT ONLY TEXT TO TEXT BUT VARIOUS MEDIA SUCH AS SOUNDS, IMAGES, ANIMATION AND /OR VIDEO. AND OF COURSE THIS COULD BE A REALLY USEFUL TOOL IN TEACHING A LANGUAGE. FOR EXAMPLE USING HYPERTEXT WE CAN GIVE THE MEANING OF A NEW WORD BUT WITH HYPERMEDIA NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSOITS PRONUNCIATION.ORGICING MEANINGS BY MEANS OF PICTURES.
