dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study is to construct a model of a computer based hypertext environment to enable easier access to complex information while providing the viewer with greater insight into a particular subject matter than could traditional text. The study addresses the importance of active participation and the relationship of new knowledge with existing knowledge, both of which the hypertext environment supports. The project will compile my postcards, sketches and journal entries which were gathered during a semester long study abroad program in Italy. The hypertext will provide the viewer with an opportunity to choose items of personal interest and experience the Italian culture in a way which is specific to each person. The project will be organized geographically, to simulate the traveling experience. It will feature various levels of personal involvement, allowing the viewer to merely observe images of sites, or to explore deeply into the culture and the people through my documented experiences. The goal is to present many facets of a complex land and culture within a medium better suited than traditional text to allowing the user choices as to how they wish to explore such an environment. | en |
