Abstract

Planning navigation process in hyperspace is an important meta-cognitive activity for learning hypermedia/hypertext-based resources. However, it is quite hard for learners to plan their navigation process in a self-directed way. Our approach to this issue is to provide learners with a guided map as scaffold for navigation planning, which not only represents hyperspace but also highlights representative pages and links to be learned in the hyperspace. This paper proposes controllable scaffolding with the guided map, which controls learners' navigation planning efforts by changing the quantity and quality of highlighted pages and links on the map. The results of a case study indicate that the guided map can promote their planning process by controlling the scaffold level.
