Linking the data to develop knowledge: A neglected part of developing WEB-based university resources

Abstract

The hypertext nature of World Wide Web materials allows the development of structural and knowledge-based links between pieces of information. The importance of structural links has been acknowledged as important to ensure users are not lost in the web of information to the WEB. However, there is little published material on the potential for knowledge-based links to promote problem-based learning skills.

This presentation discusses the creation of WEB-based resources for a senior undergraduate unit in Forestry at the Australian National University. Emphasis is directed towards the development and use of knowledge-based links.
