Abstract

The study reported here was an interview study of low and high prior knowledge students with strong or weak goals exploring a hypertext stack. We examined the influences of a student’s prior knowledge and desired goal on the difficulties and benefits associated with using hypertext. In-depth interviews were conducted with students who participated in the study.
