Abstract

Hypertext and the WWW appear to affect learning positively. Both techniques enable the constructivistic learning environment to support a student's knowledge construction and a more active role of a student. However, the problems associated with them may endanger the positive effect on learning. Thus, the role of hypertext and the WWW must be discussed.Because of the common problems of "information overload" and "lost-in hyperspace", we suggest guided tours in the form of a slide show presentation as a solution to organise a hypermedia presentation on the WWW for the basics in informatics. These slides include links to the supporting web sites. In addition to guided tours, we also suggest that the use of search engines and directories must be promoted. This paper describes the use of the WWW-based guided tours as a complementary part of conventional lectures in the learning of the basics in informatics. We give reasons for our approach based on both discussion about the role of the WWW in learning and the results of our pre-questionnaire.
