The hypertext has three key elements : immediacy, flexibility
and interactivity. Hypertext is likened to footnotes in a book or
any reading material. Footnotes provide definition, explanation
and more information which are also the same things that
hypertext produce. But in contrast to footnotes, the hypertext
operates with immediacy as it is made possible and available
automatically with just a click at the very moment the reading
is taking place. Footnotes, on the other hand, can be very time
consuming as the reader will have to refer to it while taking
breaks from reading the material.
Hypertexts provide flexibility in learning and thinking. as

Reflection  Constructivism is the theory that says learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. In designing this lesson, I
introduced the lesson by activating the prior knowledge of the learners by giving prompts and also, I have designed activities which will
make them think about what the lesson is all about. I don’t just give the definitions or concepts automatically rather I make them curious
through games and questions and aply their learning at the end of the lesson.
