Hypermedia tools are computer–based devices designed to promote learning in educational settings. In comparison to traditional educational instruments, hypermedia tools have the advantage of providing learners with notions presented through a variety of symbols (written texts, oral narratives, pictures, animations, sounds) (Mayer, 2005) and of offering learners control over the instructional process by allowing them to choose the preferred sequence along with access contents (Shin, Schallert & Savenye, 1994). In fact hypermedia tools are characterized by two features: 1) Images, photos, diagrams, motion pictures, sounds, and texts are simultaneously available to activate learner’s verbal/auditory and visual channels at the same time (Mayer, 2003); 2) Thanks to its networked structure, organization of information is similar to human associative memory (Granic & Lamey, 2000).

Abstract
Hypermedia tools are computer–based devices designed to promote learning in educational settings. In comparison to traditional educational instruments, hypermedia tools have the advantage of providing learners with notions presented through a variety of symbols (written texts, oral narratives, pictures, animations, sounds) (Mayer, 2005) and of offering learners control over the instructional process by allowing them to choose the preferred sequence along with access contents (Shin, Schallert & Savenye, 1994). In fact hypermedia tools are characterized by two features: 1) Images, photos, diagrams, motion pictures, sounds, and texts are simultaneously available to activate learner’s verbal/auditory and visual channels at the same time (Mayer, 2003); 2) Thanks to its networked structure, organization of information is similar to human associative memory (Granic & Lamey, 2000).Pubblicazioni consigliate
