Identifies the context in which a text was developed:

HYPERTEXT
Hyper
Over; beyond, something more than usual

Text
That is a letter or combinations of some
letters to carry or transfer meaning.
Hyper + Text = Hypertext
Digital text in which the reader may
navigate related information through embedded
hyperlinks.
Hypertext connects topics on screen to related
information, graphics, videos, and music;
information is not simply
related to text.

It looks like this: Google


www.google.com
We write or read Hypertext, but what that really means
is that we participate in a form of communication that
is not linear but, instead, jumps between various piece
of texts (which may include sound and visual texts.)
Hypertext makes possible dynamic
organization of information through links
and connections, called Hyperlinks.
Ex: World Wide Web, Wikipedia, etc.

Hypertext refers to "links" on a computer screen


that, when activated, will bring the reader immediately to
a new site of text, audio, video, etc.  A link may lead to
only a brief sentence, to a paragraph, or to whole pages
of new text.
The nature of the links is such that it is the
writer, not the reader, who decides where links
will actually go.  Furthermore, it is the writer who
has full control over which parts of the text should
have a link, and which should not.
Why use Hypertext?
That is, we are better able to figure out material if we
are allowed to move at our own pace, investigating that which
Interests us, and stimulating more senses through multimedia.

The text is complete-- everything is still there, somewhere.


Hypertext just points out that there are other ways to read and
write besides starting from the beginning and going to the end.
Thus, reading hypertext you are given more
flexibility and personalization because you get to
select the order in which you read the text and focus
on information that is relevant to your background
and interest.

Therefore, you create your own meaning out


of the material or specific topic.
For instance, if you are writing an article about marine mammal
bioacoustics, you may be interested in showing a picture of dolphin,

You may place a hyperlink:

Then it will show them this:


Or you may want to let them hear the sound it makes.
You may place a hyperlink in the article:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqteBewLJzk
Or you may even let them show what a marine
mammal sound “looks like” in a spectrogram.
You may place a hyperlink in the article:

They might even want to find out more about sounds
made by other animals in the sea.
You may place a hyperlink in the article:

Thus leading the reader on a completely


different, detailed path.
