Web-based hypertutorials, featuring enhanced learner control and resources, were overwhelmingly preferred by graduate students over traditional online lessons. The study confirms hypertutorial features significantly improve student evaluations of instruction.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Educational Technology
  • Instructional Design

Background:

  • Graduate students previously preferred web-based hypertutorials over conventional online lessons.
  • Hypertutorials integrate features like learner control, practice, feedback, and elaborative resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if the superiority of hypertutorials in student evaluations is due to their specific features.
  • To compare student responses to hypertutorials versus traditional web-based lessons.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized comparisons were conducted in a graduate health informatics course.
  • Two versions of lessons were used: one with hypertutorial features and one without, containing identical text and graphics.
  • Student evaluations were collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Students rated both web-based methodologies highly.
  • Hypertutorial lessons were consistently rated as superior to traditional lessons.
  • Significant differences in evaluations were linked to the hypertutorial features themselves.

Conclusions:

  • The specific features of hypertutorials, such as learner control and elaborative resources, are the primary drivers of their enhanced effectiveness.
  • Hypertutorials represent a superior instructional design for graduate-level health informatics education.
  • Further research should explore the impact of individual hypertutorial features on learning outcomes.
