Writing multimedia pedagogical hyperdocuments: For an integrated design environment
Résumé
Introducing computers in education can be an opportunity for teachers to invent new pedagogical process. Multimedia learning software is not the universal solution to all the instructional problems, nevertheless it comes with its specificity and imposes new ways of thinking pedagogy. Three main approaches can be distinguished to design multimedia numeric documents. Documentary approach is based on logical structuring of documents. Multimedia approach intends to exploit potentials of each kind of media, along with possibilities of dynamic interaction with users. Pedagogical approach search to solve local didactical problems by computer mediation. We advocate for the integration of these three fields in one single way of thinking. We shall present a methodological environment we are building in order to assist designers from specifications to final evaluation.
