Abstract

In this paper, a model use of new web technologies is considered and the model's ability to represent a new generalisable form of educational practice is examined. The model involves the use of materials in web format and a presentation in a range of forms including live lectures or classes, on stand-alone computers with CD/ROM and via networked computers with access to the (world wide) web.

The hyperlecture is so-called in recognition of its hypertextual nature, including the mix of media types or multimedia as linked objects. It is also to be thought of as more than a lecture. There is a lecture as part of the hyperlecture. It is presented as a summary of the hyperlecture or as an introduction to it, to be followed by more in-depth lectures also based on the hyperlecture. There may also be self-paced instructional activities and tutorial exercises.

The OZeWAI universal web accessibility hyperlecture is considered as a case study of an implementation of the new model.
