The article, "The Use of Hypermedia Technologies in Higher Education Institutions during Covid Lockdown," explores the implementation of hypermedia technologies in higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic. It shows how hypermedia can be used to create flexible, adaptable learning environments that support distance education. The authors look at both the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies, noting their potential to enhance independent learning and promote information assimilation. They also emphasize the importance of integrating hypermedia to meet the needs of modern learners, especially during the pandemic, when traditional face-to-face learning was not feasible.
The article excels at explaining the concept of hypermedia, detailing its history, evolution, and role in e-learning, especially during the Covid-19 lockdowns when integrating such technology became essential. The authors present a comprehensive overview of hypermedia’s benefits and also acknowledge its challenges. Its clear structure and logical flow make it accessible for readers, offering practical insights into how hypermedia can be effectively integrated into educational settings. Its balanced evaluation of hypermedia’s strengths and weaknesses further strengthens its overall presentation.
This article is highly relevant to my current work as a remote professional responsible for quality checks on educational material. My role involves converting a curriculum that was designed over a decade ago into one that leverages modern educational methods, with a strong focus on hypermedia. Some of these changes include the integration of Virtual Reality, interactive scenarios, videos, and self-directed learning. The insights from the article help inform how these technologies can be used effectively to enhance the learning experience.
