in ways. Multiple organization of the same material
allow for specialized structures for different user
categories.

learners skips through the material much hasty,and
thus get a shallow and fragmented conception of the
subject.

confusion rather than understanding, especially the

more or less random.

accomplish anything, which can be more or less
complex.
